Veteran Outfielder Joe Marty today had the job of lifting the tagging fortunes of the Sacramento Solon mired deep in the Pacific Coast League cellar. The St-year-eld Marty was named manager of the Solon yesterday to succeed Ralph (Red) Kress. Solon General Manager Joyner (Jo-Jo) White announced firing of Kress and his coach, Lindsey Brown, after a conference with team owners. Marty's debut was. a winning one last night as the Solons edged second place Hollywood, 4 to Marty contributing a two-run single.

16 GAMES BEHIND The Solons, who finished third last year under Del Baker, are 16 games behind first place San Diego with less than a third of the season completed. Kress formerly was a coach with the Detroit Tigers, New York Giants, Toronto, Baltimore and managed St Paul in 1941. Both Kress and Brown will be paid In full for their one-year contracts. Marty, a native of Sacramento, said his appointment came as a complete surprise. When asked i about who he would hire as his' coach, he said: HAVEN'T HAD TIME "I have no idea.

I haven't had time to think. Give-rne a chance to catch my breath. All I can say now is that I'll give it everything I've got." Marty played in the majors for five years with the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies. In 1945 he Joined Sacramento and has been with the Solons since then. White said attendance at Sacramento home games was off 40,000 compared with last season.

Three straight losses to Hollywood apparently clinched the Sacramento cwners' decision to change man-agers.

THiaml For Christie TED WILLIAMS DENIES ASKING TO BE TRADED BOSTON, June 2. im The rains came again here last night and, while washing out another Boston ball game, gave everybody concerned ample opportunity to deny the latest Ted Williams trade rumor. What set off the latest Williams-type explosion was a story by a New Tork columnist that Williams wanted to be traded to Detroit after the 1950 season. Williams, rather belatedly, caught np wttn the rnmor at Fenway Park, just after last night's game with the Cleveland Indians was postponed. He dismissed it with a brief denial.

"The rnmor that I have or will request that I be traded by the Red Sox at the end of this season is without foundation, Williams said. "Furthermore, I have not talked to the writer who quoted me in such fashion at anv time durlnr this um. jnst the Idea of playing for anybody except Owner Tom Tawkey makes me sick." With Tawkey out of town. General Manager Joe Cronln dismissed the rumor as "just somebody's rainy day pipe dream." Tl Nobs 8-5 Win Treasure Island used an eight frame rally to down the U.S.S.
