Springfield Sallies

Anne Georges played on the Springfield Sallies team in 1949 with: Eileen Gascon, Doris Cook, Migdalia "Mickey" Perez, Lillian Shadic, Mirtha Marrero, Renae Youngberg, Mary "Wimp" Baumgartner, Sue Kidd, Kay Lionikas, Gertrude "Gert" Alderfer, Barbara Payne, Barbara Liebrich, Betty Degner, Norene Arnold and Jane Moffet. These women were part of the league's idea to recruit new players by sending out rookie teams to play against each other. The Springfield Sallies and the Chicago Coleens made up one of the tours. The tour was successful enough in 1949 that it was repeated in 1950.
