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. Kiener was not on that team, but we can assume he played in one of the other matches.
