Lyons Eyes Lyons As Lindell Replacement
Atlantic City April 6. If Marie Joe McCarthy seeks a replacement for Johnny Lindell he may find it on his own pitching staff in Al Lyons a rookie righthander who pitched for Kansas City last year and could fit in the Yankees outfield. Lyons started as a pitcher in Los Angeles but shifted to outfield after an arm injury. Lindell passed his draft physical yesterday and will be rechecked by doctors with X rays to confirm no old head injury.
