I haven't found a record of him in the yearbooks under that name, though there is a Charles Andrew O'Connor there in 1911-1912. O'Connor did play for the Chicago Bankers League in 1916 with the First Nationals. I do not have a photo of him as of yet.

Here's Johnny O'Connor and Hal Janvrin on the 1910 Boston English high school baseball team. From the June 10, 1910, Boston Globe. From the info provided by Chickazoola.
