 Lotest To Come Thru
By CORNELIUS RYAN United Press Sports Writer

New York, April 20-UP) --Man- ager Joe Mccarthy of the New York Yankees was in the position today of man who has 10 pounds of but- ter at home and knows where he can buy another 10 pounds.
 He has four of the best-hitting outfielders in baseball, and the rules say only three men can play at a time.
 He started the season with Chars ley Keller in left field, Joe DiAfag- gio in center field and Tom Henrich in right field. When Keller, who is muscular enough to be ilick- named King Kong" and hits with enough vehemence to keep opposing teams from thinking the title is funny, pulled leg muscle, Me- Carthy sent Johnny Lindell, only a few days out of the Army, Into left field.
 Lindell who was converted from pitcher to an outfielder because his hitting was much better than his hurling, batted in three runs against Philadelphia Thursday with a homer and double, and repeated that tally yesterday as the Tanks edged Washington with a ninth- inning rally, to 6,
 Lindell got a two-run homer in the second inning. driving in Joe DiMaggio who had doubled.
 In true Yankee tradition, the New Workers went on to make 1t a big inning as Nick Etten singled, Bill Dickey doubled and OssIe Grimes singled. Four runs scored. in all
 Won In Ninth
 Undaunted by this display of deal-for-sure pre-war Yankee stuff, the Senators clipped away with a run here and couple Of runs there. and New York, under the unhappy eyes Of a record opening-d day crowd of 54,826 paid, came up to the ninth inning trailing by to 5.
 John Niggeling got one man out and then got nervous. He walked George Stirnweiss and hit Tom Henrlcn With pltcn, bringing up DiMaggio, DiMaggio doubled and that brought up Lindell. The big outfielder drove a fly ball deep into center field and the winning run scored easily after the catch.
 That gave Lindell three more runs batted in.
 Kellers leg reportedly is healed, but King Kong cant muscle his way back into the lineup.
 The Yank-Senator game was the only one played yesterday as most teams postponed games because of Good Friday observance.

NEW YORK, July 11.-A jurisdic-
tional row between CIO and AFL
seamens unions today tied up nine
vessels in New York harbor and
threatened to result in similar tieups
In all ports along the Atlantic coast.
The ships, including one troop
transport preparing to sail to Eu-

tional Longshoremen's Association
refused to cross a 1,000-man piclset
line thrown around six Staten
Island piers by the AFL maritime
council of greater New York.

Gil, said the pickets were members
of the Seafarers International
Union, the International Brother
hood of Teamsters, the Sailors
Union of the Pacific and other AFL
unions.
Points to Bridges Order.
He added the situation was
touched off" when CIO Leader
Harry Bridges ordered his long
shoremen-the West Coast Inter
national Longshore Workers Union
not to load or discharge cargo on
ships belonging to the SIU-SUP
contracted American Pacific Steam
ship Co."
Mr.. Hall said the difficulty origi-
mated Tuesday at Coos Bay, Greg.
where CIO longshoremen refused tc
unload the American Pacific Co.
Mello Franco.
In the West Coast jurisdictional
dispute, Mr.. Hall said, Mr.. Bridges
demanded that AFI members be re-
placed by crews of the Committee
for Maritime Union, comprised of six
CIO unions and one independent
maritime union.

Bridges has declared war on the
AFL maritime unions and we will
not sit by idly" said Mr.. Hall, who
also is port agent for the STU. "AFI
