<Joseph F Callaway, Illinois> appears in the tournament crosstable published in Chess Life & Review (November 1971, p. 615). Spence's tournament book contains a photocopy of this.

Howver, the Annual Rating List covering the 1971 US Open (CL&R, January 1972, p. 42) gives <Joseph E Callaway, IL>. Other contemporaneous rating lists agree with this. I have yet to find another instance of "Joseph F Callaway."

Joseph Callaway appears to have ben primarily a correspondence player. In CL$R postal reports and lists, his name is given as <J E Callaway> and his state is never mentioned.

USCF's Member Services Area (SA) is not very useful for players before 1992, but it does list <Joseph E Callaway> from Illinois.

G H Wolbrecht vs O Chajes, 1909

E F Schrader vs O Chajes, 1909

There's a third game (Blake - Barnhart) alongside the Schrader - Chajes game. but there must be something amiss with the score.

The fact is tat much of my work on the early WCA is old, and badly needs to be followed up. But I get distracted so easily...

I don't think the Blake - Barnhart game is too bad. Here's the score I'm going with:

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 d6 4.d4 Bd7 5.Nc3 exd4 6.Nxd4 Nxd4 7.Bxd7+ Qxd7 8.Qxd4 Nf6 9.h3 Be7 10.Bg5 0-0 11.0-0 h6 12.Bh4 Nh7 13.Bxe7 Qxe7 14.Nd5 Qd7 15.Rad1 a6 16.Rfe1 Rfe8 17.f4 Rad8 18.Rd3 f5 19.Qc4 Qf7 20.e5 dxe5 21.fxe5 Rd7 22.e6 Rxe6 23.Rxe6 Qxe6 24.Nf6+ Source: Buffalo Enquirer, 1909.09.18, p. 9. 1-0

There's only a coupe of problems I can see. First, <10...Castles> and <11.Castles> are both ambiguous. However, since both sides soon play QR-Q, this precules queenside castling.s.

The big question comes at <B21>

Noww the text clearly has <21...R-Q3>. This is not quite as bad as it looks, since the rook isn't haging. But now the ensuing combination starting <22.e6> fails because Black has an extra quard on e6. (In fact, 22...RxP would be ambiguous.)

G H Wolbrecht vs O Chajes, 1909 (Round 6, August 18)

E F Schrader vs O Chajes, 1909 (Round 1, August 16)

C W Blake vs J W Barnhart, 1909 (Round 2, August 16)

E F Schrader vs C W Blake, 1909 (Round 7, August 19)

Here's the score - which is a bit tricky in places, most notably <20...Kt-R> which has to be <20...Kt-B>:

There is the chance, of course, that' it's not a Wolbrecht game, but a Chajes win over someone else. But in looking tonight, I've found the game in:

Memphis Comercial Appeal, September 11, 1910, p. 33.

St. Louis Glob Democrat, September 11, 1911, p. p. 34.

Both have introductions mentioning wolbrecht and Chajes, both have Wolbrecht playing White and Black winning. The Glob Democrat even has a crosstable showing that Wolbrecht beat Chajes twice, despite "losing" this game.

At least there is some good news. Both have the correct 20...Nf8.

The game does not appear in the Chicago Tribune, so the three citiers must have gotten it from other source which gave the incorrect information.

Whatever might be the cause, I think you're right that this is Chajes - Wolbrecht fro round 13 It's possible I skipped over it, assuming it was the actual G H Wolbrecht vs O Chajes, 1910 game.

<MissScarlett> This is curious, I now see a prior publication of the game: <Memphis Commercial Appeal>, , September 4, 1910, Part 2, p. 9 [p. 34]. This also gives Wolbrecht as White, but at least gives the correct <22...Kt-B1>.
