Marse Joe Mccarthy of the New

In AL Lyons, a rookie Highlander

but due to an arm injury he turned
to outf1elding when he Joined the

City. He started as a fielder but
went back to pitching for Manager
Johnny Neun, after showing one of
the best throwing arms in baseball
and power-hitting ability but too
much of a tendency toward serious
slumps at the plate.
Lindell, of course, came to the
Yanks as pitcher, but was made
over into fielder when Mccarthy
was impressed by his size and hit
ting ability and unimpressed by his
hurting.
Appearing in 122 games last year,
Lindell banged out fair .244 aver
age, but showed power that might
have changed him from an ordinary
player into a star this season. It
was Lindy who bumped Whitley
Kurowski at third base in the most
disputed play of the 1s43 World
Series.
Lindell took his draft physical
yesterday and passed preliminary
test. The doctors are giving him
another once-over and will pass him
for the Navy If x-ray tests prove
that he will not be troubled by an

Lyons just joined the club last

NEW YORK, April 6.-Harry
Gumbert, towering hurler for the
st. Louis Cardinals, champions of

to win his Tooth major loop game.
The tall guy from Texas is the
first of the big league pitchers to
60 the nine-inning route, and he did
it impressively yesterday in holding
the second team to six hits and a
single ninth inning run.
Gumbert has won 98 games and
hopes to get over the century hump
early in the season. Only seven
pitchers now in the big leagues have
broken the 100 mark.
Gumbert has proved a fine in
vestment for the Cards since 1941,
when Branch Hickey traded "Fib-
Der" Bill MCGEE to the Giants for
him. Since then Gumbert has won
80 games and lost Is and of his
wins were at the expense of the
Giants, against two losses. MCGEE
won two and lost nine in 1941 for
the Giants and hasn't been with
