↑ According to Chiesa, on April 4 was played this match: Juventus-Piemonte 0-0 but this match was never played at that date. The source is Chiesa, op. cit., but Chiesa made some mistake at reporting results and according to La Stampa in April 4 Piemonte played at Genoa against the reserves team of Genoa for the Seconda Categoria Federal Championship Finals, so it's impossible that Piemonte played in the same day two championship matches in two different cities.
