--> C Letcher retired ill in the East Melbourne first innings having scored 0 (team score 359/9)

From the Australasian newspaper: The Carlton second innings batting one man short actually closed for 75, just upon 5 o'clock, but as an enthusiast named Josephs wished to exhibit his batting skill, he was permitted to go in, and by his efforts the total reached 82.
