In 1883 Woodhouse lost in the first round. In 1880 he entered the first unofficial U. S. Championships men's singles event at Staten Island, New York (played with an unconventional scoring system) and won the tournament. By 1885 his workaholic nature was putting a strain on his health, so he went on a sabbatical to Cannes. However, whilst there he caught an illness. He died aged just 31 in 1887 (overwork in the period 1881 to 1885 being a main factor in his death). (en)
