He reported to Toronto the third week of May where he played for manager Joe Kelley. After a 1-3 start Kelley suspended Lundgren on June 16 for being out of shape. He was then released and his contract was purchased by Kansas City. Lundgren however refused to report to Kansas City and went home to the Chicago area. For the remainder of 1909 he played baseball on local teams.
In 1910 he again went to play in Toronto with similar results to 1909.
