Event table notes

Event data
Name: Franklin Chess Club - Chicago Chess and Checker Club Telegraph Match
Place: Philadelphia and Chicago
Start date: 7 Apr. 1905
End date: 8 Apr. 1905
 
Notes:
Four games had to be adjudicated, and the result of these is not given in the report in the American Chess Bulletin of Apr. 1905 (p.184). Hilbert indicates that Shipley's game with Cravens was eventually adjudicated as a draw. I have not yet found results of the other three adjudicated games: C. Martinez - L. Uedemann, J. Roeske - V. Jelinek, H.G. Voigt - C.W. Phillips.
