Parker posted a .222 batting average (2-for-9) with two runs, one RBI, two stolen bases, and a .364 on-base percentage. He played his final game on October 5, and never appeared in a major-league game again.
In 1908, Curtis served as the first bench coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish baseball team.
