Jack Nourse wrote the article, a series about the History of Organized Chess in Washington State. Marshall was on a tour of the USA and Capablanca followed him to Seattle a few weeks later, says the article. Marshall stayed with Bagley while in Seattle. Did Marshall always take White in simuls? Or it might have been a skittles game that Bagley recorded. The article said "The P. I. (local Seattle newspaper) chess editor observes that Mr. Marshall overlooked a beautiful mate in 5 (sic 6 by my chess engine) moves at his 32nd move. Also White should have taken the Queen at his 34th move when he would have had an even game." Appears there was no pre-arrangement to Marshall's tour taken shortly after he won the US Championship. Mr. Bagley organized a simul for Marshall. Money was raised by passing a hat at the event. Bagley was the fellow who kept the Seattle Chess Club going for many years, often paying the bills from his own pocket.
UPDATED 2/23/2006: This game was probably played around Feb 20, 1915. I found a reference to Frank J. Marshall being in Portland Oregon Feb 23, 1915. He played 92 games at once breaking the world's simultaneous chess playing record. The story was in Nevada State Journal of 24 Feb 1915. The games were not done yet when they ran the story, so I don't know the score of how many Marshall won.
