1904: <Nothing further has been done at the local club toward the match between F. B. Walker and F. N. Stacy. The time limit set by Mr. Stacy, May 10, is considered too short in which to arrange and complete a match of serious play between players of the known ability of the two named and it is therefore likely that the contest will be postponed until the fall. It has been pointed out that while under the rules the winner is subject to challenge and has thirty days in which to accept there is no rule which allows the challenger to fix the time limit and therefore it is considered that Mr. Stacy's challenge, because of the condition imposed, cannot work a forfeiture of the title of club champion, if Mr. Walker does not accept.> (The Washington Times, 16 April 1904, p. 9)
