After a year at the minor league Sioux City, Iowa Cornhuskers he joined the National League Pittsburgh Pirates from 1892 to 1894, and then the St. Louis Browns for a year. He managed the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Syracuse Stars of the Eastern League for a year each, taking Syracuse to a first place finish in 1897. He then managed the Eastern League Rochester Bronchos from 1899 to 1901, finishing first-second-first.[citation needed]

Following this he rejoined the National League as manager of the Boston Beaneaters from 1902 to 1904. He returned to Rochester between 1905 and 1908.[citation needed]
