JOE WOOD MARRIES IN PITTSFIELD

Miss O'Farrell Becomes Mrs. Wood, Several Red Sox In Wedding Party

BOSTON--Not often do stories about weddings find their way onto these pages of the Globe, but then again, not often does a wedding bring together the families of two of the Red Sox' most luminous stars.

On December 23 in Pittsfield, Miss Emily Elizabeth O'Farrell became the bride of Mr. Joe Wood, star pitcher of the Boston American League club. Patrick J. O'Farrell, brother of the bride and Mr. Wood's teammate, was best man. The wedding party included several other Red Sox players, including catcher William Carrigan, pitcher Christopher Mathewson, and outfielder Tristram Speaker.

Mr. and Mrs. Wood's betrothal was kept a family secret until after the World Series, in which Wood pitched brilliantly.

The couple will take a wedding trip to Ocean City, New Jersey before returning to make their home in Boston.

Readers desiring more detail concerning the ceremony may find them in the society pages of today's Globe.
