(1) Many American men were drafted during World War II. (2) Many other men volunteered to serve. (3) In fact, so many men entere

Which is the most effective way to combine sentences 11 and 12?
Let's take a look at the two sentences you want to combine:
The league produced many fine players, including Mary "Bonnie" baker. Dorothy Kamenshek was also a fine player.
Both sentences are independent clauses and can be combined using a conjunction. The word, "and," means in addition or also. If you look at your sentence they both talk about the fine players of the league. So you can combine them both to avoid repetitiveness.
The league produced many fine players, incuding Mary "Bonnie" Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek.
