On August 20, 1883, after a game between the Louisville Eclipse and the Alleghenys‚ Creamer and fellow players Billy Taylor and Mike Mansell were each fined $100 and suspended indefinitely for drunkenness.[2] In 1884, he briefly managed the Alleghenys for 8 games, but he lost all the games he oversaw.[1]

Creamer died of tuberculosis in Philadelphia, where he was interred at Greenwood Cemetery.[1][3]
