O'CONNOR MENTIONED
 AS PARK CITY MGR.
Famous Pirate Backstop Now in Line for Job as Leader of
 Bridgeport Team.

Springfield, March 7.-Down in Bridgeport they say Paddy O'Connor of this city stands second in the run ring for the managership of the Bridgeport club of the Eastern league. This is interesting to fans and to Paddy especially, for he did not know he stood in the Bridgeport running ct all, not to melton second place. Neal Ball has the pole, but apparent ly not very much more. Owner John H. Freeman of the Bridgeport club has been talking of hiring Ball for the past few weeks but has hesitated SO much that fans down that way think Ball is losing out and not gaining by the delayed plays. Hugd Bradley was considered well up in the race until O'Connor was suggested. but since then Bradley's stock has slumped. It is said that Freeman prefers either Ball or O'Connor, with a strong leading for the latter.
 The signing of Paddy as manager by the Bridgeport club would be a wise move. Paddy is a good back stop and has picked up considerable experience with the Pittsburg and St Louis Nationals, not to mention the Pttsburg Federal league club. He is wise boy on all baseball points and temperamentally seems built for mana ging a ball club. He Is peppery, is a worker and loves hustle on the diamond. Besides, he is a player that could spur others on and get a whole lot of work out of them. He has always been very popular with every team he ever played with and ny fans he has always been admired for the serious spirit that he inJects into the game.
 When Paddy is mixed up in ball game, there is little else on his mind. He is out to win and to win solely by playing baseball Bridgeport Is thinking him over seriously and fin view of the fact that Owner Free man has strong likingi for Paddy it would be no surprise if the Bridge ort people managed to work some play that gave them Paddy as their manager.
