Notes & reviews

White Sox marched to flag raising wearing their red leather jackets with a lot of multicolor trimming such as the Comiskey trade emblem on the chest and needlework numbers on sleeve. Field very muddy.
Fox's bunt took crazy bounce past Kuhel.
Bridges' hot smash off pitcher's shin deflected to Kuhel. Kuhel flipped to Rigney but ump Quinn called safe. Dykes argued, threw his cap, and was ejected by ump Quinn.
Dietrich fell in mud as he went to field Fox's grounder.
