From the player files of the Chicago White Sox:

Character notes
* Seems to be loyal to team
* Shows some leadership qualities
* Good in the clutch
* Consistent

Notes: If we have a chance to obtain this player, do it. Boston is not likely to trade him, as he is a local boy and is popular with the rooters there.

(Note: At the beginning of the 1914 season, the White Sox offered to trade pitcher Frank Smith to the Red Sox for O'Farrell. I assumed the Red Sox would not be interested in trading a perennial All-Star for a 35-year-old pitcher who had an ERA of 5.03 in 1913, and refused the trade.)
