| Biographical data |
| Name: Sharp, Sydney Thomas |
| Born: 17 June 1885 |
| Died: 28 Sep. 1953 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Gaige (Chess Tournament Crosstables) gives 'Sharp, S.F.' at Philadelphia 1906, but I presume this is an error for 'Sharp, S.T.'. The Philadelphia Inquirer of 24 June 1906 also has 'S.F. Sharp'. Middle name sent by Edouardo Bauzá Mercére. |
