Bernard was "a local amateur" according to the Chicago Tribune (October 8, 1888). The Kansas City Star reported Bernard was a local who "was dead broke, and was playing for $5 to get something to eat with" (October 8, 1888).

Bernard was an amateur who played in a double header for the Chicago Maroons on October 7, 1888, the final games of the season for Chicago. He managed one hit in 6 at bats across the two games.

According to the Kansas City Star, "the little fellow who played center for Chicago yesterday and who the crowd guyed so unmercifully, was dead broke, and was playing for $5 to get something to eat with. He played as well as the rest of the club and afforded the crowd about $100 worth of amusement." The Kansas City Journal provided more details of the story.

The feature of yesterday's ball game was the center fielder of the Maroons, in whom the crowd took more interest than they did in th egame.His name is Bernard, and Captain Hengle picked him up at his hotel. He got into a conversation with him yesterday morning and the fellow told him that food hadn't passed his lips for numerous moons. He told Captain Hengle that he could play ball, and the latter, who was not feeling well, told him that there was $5 in it if he played. He couldn't play ball on an empty stomach and so Hengle took him to dinner. Then he put on a uniform and started to play as if he was a veteran when Deacon White was a colt, and to the boy's credit he held his own with several members of the Chicago Team.
