Leona Kearns 1920s

She was a member of the Philadelphia Bobbies club in the 1920s and was a teammate of the famous Edith Houghton. According to John Thorn, Leona played first base as well as pitcher. According to her sister who only died in 2005, Leona threw a knuckleball. She met a tragic end in 1926 after being swept overboard from a ship and her body was never recovered. She would have only been 17 years old.
