Chase also acted as the honorary secretary of the Gothic Gymnastics and Boxing Society. He officiated at athletic and cycling meetings, and was a National Cyclists Union (NCU) starter. He was also as a boxing judge and referee, and at the 1908 London Olympics was a judge in five bouts, including two semi-finals. He was also a judge at the ABA Championships in the following three years, and the 1911 ABA Championship meeting was his last as a boxing official.
