The Missouri AC won two matches for certain, but the rosters are not known. A third match was won by forfeit, and one match was conceded after trailing 6-0. Their fifth match was against the champion team, the Buffalo Germans. They played that match with only four players and lost 97-8. Waldman was not on that team, but we can assume he played in one of the other matches.

Asser Wallenius would have finished seventh in the overall, even if his fall in the 1500 metres had counted as last (11th). I give him the points for seventh, therefore.
