Boston Globe, March 18, 1906

The Pilgrims announced yesterday that they signed a contract with a Bay State lad, Patrick O’Farrell of Stockbridge. O’Farrell, according to Manager Stahl, is a second baseman, “a speedy runner and a solid fielder.” Stahl added, “O’Farrell showed well in a tryout with us late last summer, but he expressed a desire to finish high school before beginning his career as a ballplayer. We’d have signed him up then if he had been ready."

Young O’Farrell, aged 18, will be sent to Richmond of the Virginia League for seasoning, along with another Pilgrim rookie, Bill Carrigan, lately of Holy Cross.
