| This picture postcard shows the YMCA training school in Springfield, Mass. USA. In this gymnasium the first Volleyball demonstration was given in 1896. |

| On the backside you can see that this card was sent from Springfield on Feb 20, 1911 to Salt Lake, Utah. Miss Morgan (!!! - the same second name as the inventor of our favourite sport !!!) thanks a Mr. Boal for the nice Valentine card he had sent her. I am not sure if the blue cancel in the lower right hand corner is an arrival cancel, because I doubt that it took more than a month to deliver this card. |
