He was noticeably slight in his build, weighing only 110 pounds (50 kg). In 1884, he won his first of five Western Championship titles. In 1885, he took second at the intercollegiate national championships, losing the final to of Yale. Chase reached the semifinals of the U.S. National Championships in 1886, and the quarterfinals in 1889 and 1890. In 1888, he won the Newcastle Wright & Ditson Tournament. He moved to Superior, Wisconsin in 1893, and married Nelly Green the next year.
