NUMBER .13.

Referring to the number 13, the
Housekeeper has this to say:
Among the ignorant blacks of the
south the fear of this number in any
connection is actually absurd, but
whether they have borrowed this
idea from their imperfect knowledge
of Christianity or whether it is a
survival of the Voodoo worship of
their ancestors it is impossible to
say, for the superstition has strong
hold everywhere, even among those
who should know better than to be
swayed by it,"
Simple fact is that the above is
absolutely untrue; for while they are
superstitious enough in all conscience,
they have no superstition as to the
number 13. When %the baker in
Louisiana gives an Afro-American a
dozen cakes, the purchaser invariably
insists upon getting the 18th "pour
lagniappe.' That doesn't look like
any absurd fear of the number 13.

WHY JACK POWELL
DISLIKES GRIFFITH

Jack Powelrs Chagrin, or How I Hate
Clarke Griffith would be an appropriate
title for a dime novel which would give
st. Louis fans some startling inside base
ball history.
Jacks sale to the Browns by Owner
Frank Farrell of the Highlanders for a
paltry $1,000 was sad, sad jolt to Nc
Aleer's clever twirler. How he stormed and
threatened when told he only brought a
piece of pocket change and really went
begging in every club in the American
League is here told by Sam Crane. His
splendid pitching since his disposal proves
that McAleer had the best line on his
ability. Here's the story:
Powell-sot wind that he had been sold,
but did not know to what club. He hot
footed down to Farrel's office in high
dudgeon, and staggering in with his red
face ablaze, shouted gruff1y:
L hear l have been Sold" When Mr..
Farrell acknowledged it. Powell, with his
brusque, foggy voice and treading the floor
with heavy tragedian stride, hoarsely
yelled:
Well. how much do I get of the pur-
chase money!
Mr.. Farrell was struck dumb with amaze
ment. but was obliged to smile in spite of
himself. He replied: Mr. Powell, my dear
sir all We got for you is $1,000, the lowest
amount any player can be sold for, and the
only club that would cough up that fabu-
lous amount was your old club, ST. Louis.
No other club had any use for your valu-
able services"
Powell stumbled over the cuspidor, the
cash box and two new base bali bats be-
fore he could regain his composure
What he shouted, do you mean to
tell me that Cleveland don't want me; De-
troit don't want Jack Powell; Boston don't
want me; even Washington has no use for
me?"
That is what 1 said," continued Mr..
Farrell, land If you don't believe it, here
are some telegraph blanks; just wire these
clubs
Wen. III be bowed" meekly sighed
Powell. II must be pretty bad Give me
that st. Louis contract; I'll sign it,
