Knoxville Wins Negro Pennant

Knoxville Journal - September 6, 1920

I've transcribed the standings of the clubs.  It is interesting to see that the Knoxville Giants manager shut the season down but is still willing to play games with Montgomery.

	Club	Won	Lost	Pct	Total Games
	Knoxville	55	21	.724	76
	Montgomery	47	39	.547	86
	Atlanta	45	39	.536	84
	Birmingham	43	39	.524	82
	New Orleans	43	39	.524	82
	Nashville	40	40	.500	80
	Jacksonville	18	26	.409	44

The other thing to note from this article is that:

A representative of the local club will leave for Chicago this week to arrange for the playing of a negro world series with the Chicago team, winner of the pennant in the Negro National circuit.

The Chicago team would be Rube Foster's Chicago American Giants.  Gary Ashwill wrote about the series in 2006.  In the coming days I'll be looking at the series in a bit more detail.
