1896.

Last Professional Tournament. Bumstead Hall, Boston, April 13–17th.—Under auspices of Daly and Ives, 300–point games.

W. R. Av. G. A.
Ives 3 85 5.88 5.29
Schaefer 2 39 5.36 4.91
Daly 1 29 4.62 4.35
Garnier 0 43   3.82

Approximate average of tournament, 4.67. Ives’s 85 was run against Daly. While it is absolutely the highest in public, yet it cannot properly be compared with Sexton’s 77 in virtually a $6,250 stake match (not counting side bets) that he won from Schaefer by no more than 4 per cent. in 600.

1899.

Schaefer’s Highest Run of Record. Lenox Lyceum, N. Y. City, May 22d.—Second game of match of two, each for $500 a side (see Balkline, May 13, 1899, for first). Slosson, 500—4.60—34; Schaefer, 359—55.


Second Match of Multiple Nights. Madison Square Garden Concert Hall, N. Y. City, October 30 to November 1st.—$500 a side. Slosson, 900—4.57—37; Schaefer, 757—41.


McLaughlin vs. Gallagher. Maurice Daly’s, N. Y. City, November 6–10.—Purse game, best in five. McLaughlin, who won the odd, also made the more points—944 to 924.
