Today $ Sports Parade I By JACK CUDDY (Rs*. U. A Pat Off.) New York. July 17—It'Pl—Her. shel Ray Martin—a big. brown, haired Missouri farmer—already has done a grand Job of sparking the New York Yankees out of their doldrums, regardless of any additional Ignition which may result from Frank Crosetti’s Joining ths Yanks at St. Louis tomorrow. It was a great break for the prnnant.defenders. as well as for 34 year old Mar* In, when he re. ported to the New Yorkers at Philadelphia on June 23 and Im. mediately took over be left field post. Ilia acquisition from the Milwaukee Brewers for out flelder Ed Levy and a certain amount of cash proved io be one of Joe McCarthy'* luckiest deals. Veteran Martin steadied the out field with his flawless hall, hawking, and he Inspired the bats, men with bls hitting. He brought new life to a clnb that was in second division s club that only the week before had finished one of the most disastrous road trips tn Yankee history, losing 14 of 17 games. Since the dairy farmer from Vienna, Mo., took over the Yanks' left pasture — where Levy and Larry Rosenthal previously had cavorted—the McCarthymen have won 1| of 32 games Paced by Martin'* Ml bitting, the club * batting gathered momentum until in their last couple of appearances against the Boston Red Box, they rekindled memories of "murderer*

The nightcap was washed out by a thunderstorm Limited to one victory by the weather, the Yank* wound up two game* behind the leading St. I-oui* Brown*, who won Itoth end* of a twin bill from Cleveland. However, the "Martin bomber*” who take off for St. Louis today for their “chi. dal series" with the Browns are a far different outfit from that which staggered 'll rough the west in June. They're vowing to wrest the lead from the Browns in their home park—and to hold It. Martin, a slow spoken, dead serious chap who stand* six feet two and who weigh* 190 pounds, say*, "my chance with the Yanks is the first real break I ever had in basebail; and I Intend to make the most of it." This is his 12th season in organized ball. He had a four year whirl with the Phillies — from 1937 through '4o—but the rest of the time he's been languishing in the minors. He made the National league alLriar squad in '3B. hl* previous p--ak With Milwaukee, last season, he hit .307: but he changed to a looser batting grip this year and wa* hitting .380 when the Yank* grabbed him.
