Notes & reviews

Ladies Day. Total attendance 7500. No paid att. Reported in papers.
Play on Pytlak went 341 but umpire called Pytlak safe; Dietrich and Pytlak collided and Dietrich went to the ground so Chapman tried to score but Dietrich got to his feet quickly; Chapman saw no chance to score so turned back towards 3B but Dietrich's throw beat him there;. Sox argued with ump that Pytlak had been out.
