Biographical data
Name: Abbott, James (2)  
Born:
Died:
 
Notes:
Di Felice gives the player at Sylvan Beach 1904 and Excelsior 1905 as 'Abbott, Joseph William', but he was English, so I am sceptical. This might possibly be 'James Abbott', however, born in New York, in 1852 (Chess Personalia), and president of the Chicago Chess and Checker Club around 1906 (Hilbert and Lahde, p.291).
