1899

Schaefer vs. Carter. Chicago, Ill., February 4th.—$200 a side. S., 100; C., 89.


Frank C. Ives’s Last Match. “Ives Room,” N. Y. City, May 24–25th.—Four-handed for announced $250 purse and $2,500 stake. First game: Ives and W. H. Harrison, 60; Schaefer and J. A. Thatcher, 45. Second game: S. and T., 65; I. and H., 55.

While rather an exhibition than a match, nevertheless these games are of interest as the last formal ones in which Ives took part. All but Schaefer were soon dead.

John Daly vs. Luis Vasquez. Chicago, Ill., December 13th.—$50. D., 50—av.,.34; V., 39.
