life and career
Rain in Face - like his teammates from the Brantford area and probably a Mohawk , but possibly a member of another Iroquois tribe - competed with the Mohawk Indians of Canada at the Olympic Games as the second Canadian team alongside the Winnipeg Shamrocks . The Outside Home could not prevent a defeat in their only game against the team of the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Association . In the statistics today they are listed as bronze medalists, but in 1904 the third-placed winners have not yet received any medals.
