Played as a fill-in on July 14, 1888 from Omaha amateur team the Crane Brothers (Omaha Daily Bee, July 15, 1888). The Sioux City Journal reported that he was signed on July 18, 1888.

Most likely released after his start September 1; the Sioux City Journal reported that he should be released to return to his previous job as a railroad brakeman.

Baseball Reference incorrectly identifies Bill Geiss with Sioux City in 1888.
