Show JINX NUMBER 13 FOLLOWS BROOKLYN Will the 13 jinx follow the Brooklyn. Federal League team to the end of the. season? Not that the Wards arc worrying' wor-rying' any about the number 13, but just the same that-little figure which is usually regarded as an omen of ill luck has figured in the activities of the team so far. Tile Wards decided to Invest their money in the team on February 13 and on the 13th of March, and Friday to boot, the team started south on its training trip.
