(j) The games with Tate (North Georgia Champions) and Waycross (South Georgia Champions) was for the semi-pro state title, which Tate won by beating Waycross in the championship series. VHOF Note: Joe Jackson protested the Tate championship claim stating "No championship at stake in games between Waycross and Tate. Three games cannot decide any championship where all three games were played on Tate's home ground"
(k) Joe was hired by the Alabama All Stars from Montgomery, AL to play two games for them. Since it was only two games and played when Waycross had an off day, we included them in the 1924 statistics, rather than make an entirely new page. Joe traveled with Horace Long from Waycross to Montgomery for the doubleheader. I DID NOT include Joe's stats for this game in the season totals for Waycross.
(l) The Season Totals shown are for only those games in which Joe Jackson was with the Waycross team (July 4th - September 13th). The full season totals were actually 68 wins, 17 losses and 1 tie.
