MRS. FANNY DAVIS IN NAVY

Secretary of American Association for Many Years Has Enlisted as a Yeowoman. - Mrs.'Fanny R. Davis, who has been secretary of the American Association for nine years past and before that was an employee of the Chicago White Sox and the Western league and who probably is the best posted woman in the country on baseball, obeys the work-or-fight order along with the rest of baseball. S > gets as near as she can to the fighting line by enlisting as a yeowoman in the navy, a job she Is fully as well qualified to fill doubtless as those “heroes” of—well, say the Red Sox —who became yeomen as soon as it begtm to look like it would be a case of fight or do clerical work in a navy yard. Mrs. Davis didn’t have to get her orders —she just saw her duty, figured out how she could perform it and proceeded to get on the job, showing there are some people in baseball who don’t have to be kicked into service of some sort or other.
