He is mentioned at some length in the introduction of Daly's Billiard book.

He has also been covered once or twice in Mike Shamos's historical articles. I think it was Ives who showed the British and in particular Tom Reece how to make the record break at English Billiards which still stands at the largest number of consecutive shots made at any form of cue sports.

I think Hoppe talks about Ives being good or great at everything and having extraordinary eyesight. Just a great all around athlete.
