After not playing the Majors in 1900, Lauder played two games for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1901, getting one hit in eight at bats. In 1902 and 1903 he played for the Giants. In 1902, he played in 125 games, getting 114 hits in 482 at bats for a .237 batting average. His 20 doubles ranked 9th in the National League. In 1903, his final Major League season, he played in 108 games, getting 111 hits in 395 for a .281 batting average. His 17 sacrifice hits ranked 9th in the National League. For his career, Lauder played in 483 Major League games, with 477 hits in 1829 at bats for a batting average of .261. He had 6 home runs, 253 RBIs, 210 runs scored, a .292 on-base percentage and a .321 slugging percentage. As a fielder, he handled 1801 chances, all but 7 at third base, with 190 errors for a fielding percentage of .895.[1]
After his playing career ended, Lauder became a lawyer after studying law at Harvard University, wrote a baseball book, and ultimately became an insurance salesman.[4] He also coached baseball at Columbia University and Yale University.[5][6] At Columbia, he coached future Hall of Famer Eddie Collins, where he first recognized and Collins' Major League potential and encouraged him to pursue a baseball career.[7] In 1925, when Collins was managing the Chicago White Sox, he hired Lauder as a White Sox coach.[8]
