MissScarlett: The Chicago Sunday Tribune, February 21st, 1909, p.18:<At St Louis Capablanca lost only one and drew two in thirty-six simultaneous games, the winner being D. W. Pomeroy, another Chicagoan. In skittle games he won three from E. F. Schrader, an ex-champion of the Western Chess association. One of the games follows:...>
Unless I'm mislead by a poor choice of words, this game then isn't from the simul of February 8th, but an offhand one played on the same day.
The same column has:
<Jose R Capablanca's record of sweeping victories in all the cities visited after leaving Minnesota was checked at Kansas City, where he lost three games in a simultaneous of only seven boards. Two of the winners were E. Michelsen, formerly of Chicago, and J. Daniels, both members of the Western Chess association. They were the first and second prize winners, respectively, in the 1907 tournament at Lake Minnetonka. In offhand games the brilliant young Cuban, however, won eleven games and lost only one, this to Newell Banks, the promising young expert at checkers who also plays an excellent game at chess.>
Interesting because <The Unknown Capablanca> scores (http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/...) the Kansas City simul on February 4th as +15 -4, apparently subsuming the skittle games. If so, correct would be +4 -3.
