4th Anglo-American Cable Match (1899) <Match 4, March 10-11, 1899: United States 6, Great Britain 4> (GBR White on the odd-numbered boards) GBR 4.0 USA 6.0 1 Blackburne 1 Pillsbury 0 2 Atkins 0 Showalter 1 3 Lawrence 0 Barry 1 4 Jackson 0 Hodges 1 5 Mills ½ Hymes ½ 6 Jacobs ½ Voigt ½ 7 Locock ½ Johnston ½ 8 Wainwright ½ Marshall ½ 9 Bellingham ½ Newman ½ 10 Trenchard ½ Baird ½ Since Great Britain had won two matches in a row, a victory this year would give them permanent possession of the Newnes Cup--but the Americans put an emphatic stop to that with their usual good performance on the top boards and a solid job on the lower. Notable among the newcomers was a young Frank J. Marshall, who showed some promise. The 3rd Anglo-American Cable Match (1898) and 5th Anglo-American Cable Match (1900) were the previous and next editions of this team match-up.
