O'FARRELL JOINS MOHAWKS STAFF
Will Begin Coaching Duties Immediately
PITTSFIELD--Today the Pittsfield Mohawks announced the signing of Pat O'Farrell to a contract that will add him to the club's coaching staff for the remainder of the 1930 season.
Speculation about O'Farrell's intentions, which began when he resigned from the Yankee League's commissionership, had dominated league chatter for the last two weeks, even though the loop features a dandy three-team contest between Fitchburg, Pittsfield, and Torrington, with Danbury close at their heels. The news comes with the Mohawks tied for second with Torrington, three games behind the Blue Sox' pace.
O'Farrell's duties have not been specified, but it is expected that he will work actively with the team's infielders and advise the entire squad on the art of batsmanship.
The contract includes nothing about O'Farrell appearing as a player, and the Mohawks have not added him to their active or reserve roster.
