GEORGE BURNS NOW IN NAVY

First Sacker of Connie Mack’s Athletics Wants to See Service —Valuable Ball Player. Here’s George Burns of the Athletics going in the navy now. It was reported way last winter that he had been caught In the draft, but he secured exemption and has been a valuable ball player all season. Now that the game’s over and he’s done his duty by It, he wants to see service and-if they won’t let him in the army he’ll try the other end.
