I'm the League Race-HOw the Other
Clubs Stand.
The sixth week OF the Southern League
season closed yesterday. The Savannabs
have played 30 games and are second in
the League in the race for the pennant.
Atlanta leads, with Nashville third and
Memphis fourth. Macon and Augusta
are tied for fifth place. Chattanooga is
sixth and Charleston is still at the bot
tom. Memphis creeping up to fourth
place and Augusta dropping down from
fourth to fifth were the only changes in the
position of the clubs last week.
CLOSE RACE.
The race this week will be close and
exciting. The leading clubs are closely
punched. There is hardly a probability
that Savannah will get the lead as Allan
Ia is four games ahead. There will be no
Off day. Savannah Will play Augusta
four games and Macon two. Atlanta will
play Nashville four games and Memphis
two. The only chance for SaVannah's
taking first place is for Atlanta to lose
nye games and the home club to win five.
The fight tor second place will be be-
tween Nashville and savannah. Each
club has won and lost relatively the same
number OF games, but Savannah has
played two games less than Nashville
and her percentage Of games won is slight
ly greater. If Nashville wins four games
this week and Savannah loses three,
Nashville will take second place. There
is bare possibility that Memphis will
take third place.
The number of games lost and won by
each club, the percentage of games won,
and each clubs rank in the league up to
date is given below:

Libra, which was sung by the Reverend
Father Mccarthy, &. SIS. r. The sacred

to rest alongside the remains OF her young

the hall and recited the litanY for the
dead as the body was being carried out.
Deceased Will be missed among the poor.

testify. She was also staunch friend Of
all religious institutions. and the Sisters

true and faithful friend. During her Is
years residence in Savannah she was a
second mother 10 all Quebecers who Wis

William 7. Mozo, of Montgomery coun-

that Mozo was at McBrlde's store the
might the raiders were fired on, and he
was asked by the prosecution if he did not
go 10 Tom JOhnson's house the same night
and tell him that raid was in progress.
MOzO denied gong to JohnsOns house
that night, and claimed that be accident
ally met Johnson and George Wilder near
McBride's stOIe.
Chiefly upon his own statement Mozo
was acquitted, and the statement, if it
was not true, was the most beautiful bit
OF fiction ever narrated in Judge SpeeI's
court room. Johnson was afterward tried
and convicted, and is now in Albany
penitentiary. Since the trials United
States Attorney Darnell was informed
that Mrs. Johnson has said that MozO
was at her husbands house on the night
Of the shooting. When asked about it
yesterday she declared that If she ever
made any such assertion she could not
remember IL. She swOre also that she did
not see MoZo on the night in question.
George Wilder swore that he was not
8n Montgomery county on the night of the
shooting, and he knew that Mozo did not
see him at McBride's that night.
The evidence was not considered strong
enough 10 hold Mozo, and he was dis
charged.
