She appeared regularly at shortstop and also pitched in 13 games in 1947. Rita hurled a no-hitter in that season, but lost the game, 1–0. Her most productive season came in 1948, when she posted career-highs in batting average (.232), doubles (12), stolen bases (45) and runs batted in (68).

  • “Whose Waterloo?” the City Election of 1896
    VOLUME 38 JANUARY 2020 NUMBER 1 “Whose Waterloo?” The City Election of 1896 THE HEADLINE in the Post-Dispatch on April 3, 1896 was ominous: “Whose Waterloo Will This Be?” What started out as an uneventful little election was becoming a heated battle among the factions of little Florissant, and power would shift back-and-forth between them all. Just a month before, all seemed like it would be just another regular election. Mayor Humphrey J. Moynihan, who had served terms in 1894 and 1895, had not expressed interest in another term. Joseph Peters Sr. and Charles Griese were being encouraged to accept nominations for the one-year mayoral term. The two men would offer a choice to voters for the April ballot. The process was playing out as it usually did, quietly and without fanfare. Elections in Florissant were simple affairs, even referred to locally as “the annual joke.” This year would be different. Things started changing when Mayor Moynihan decided that he would like to stand for re-election after all. It was assumed that, upon hearing of the Mayor’s desire for another term, that Peters and Griese would step aside and allow him to be chosen without opposition. It was not uncommon for elected officials in Florissant wanting re-election to be the only name on the ballot. Again, this year would be different. The Hon. Joseph Peters Sr., 1832-1913 Courtesy of Ray Kraatz; public domain The job of mayor was rather uneventful. The main duty was to collect license fees, but the newspaper also noted that it was the mayor who had to listen to salesmen pitching their products and services for everything from fire extinguishers to electrification.
