Woodling New York (AP)--The New York Yankees snared two young starting pitchers and a regular shortstop from Baltimore yesterday in a deal involving at lest 12 players worth over 5500,000, probably the biggest trade in baseball history. Making a spectacular move to bolster their pitching staff after "'losing the first pennant in six years, the Yanks grabbed Bob Tur- ley, league strikeout king, and Don Larsen.

Kissed Martinez Reveals 20G Bribe Offer New York (AP)--Vince Martinez, a handsome, 25-year-old welterweight contender, yesterday disclosed that he was offered $20,000 to throw an Oct.

29 fight with Carmine Fiore in Madison Square Garden. The curly-haired, Patterson, N. boxer said the bride attempt was made 'by two men outside of his home on Wednesday, Oct. 27, just two days before the bout. He reported the incident to the New York State Athletic Commission and the New York district attorney's office on Thursday and on Friday proceeded to batter out a seventh round technical knockout over Fiore.

District Attorney Frank Hogan confirmed Martinez' story and said "an investigation continuing." Hogan also i Passaic County, N. authorities of the details. It was the second attempt in five months to get a boxer to "dump" a New York fight. Only last June 4, Clarence Henry, once "the third- ranking heavyweight contender, was arrested on a charge of offering $15,000 to middleweight Bobby Jones of Oakland, to lose his June. 11 fight with Joey Giardello of Philadelphia in the Garden.

I don't know. I suggest that you get in -'touch with Turley and Larsen and ask them how good 'they are going to be." He said it was decided at the end of the season the Yanks needed" a third and fourth pitcher and shortstop help.

"We gave away men today that have worked with for four years to get into the majors," said Stengel. "Every one of those players will play with the Orioles. And I predict this deal will give Baltimore an outstanding team and the closest thing they have had to a first division club." Reynolds, Sain Doubtful. With Allie Reynolds and Johnny Sain on the doubtful list for 1955, the Yanks obviously needed pitching help. Weiss admitted Stengel wanted Turley in particular.

The 24-year-old righthander led the league with 185 strikeouts and compiled a 14-15 record for seventh place Baltimore. Larsen, 25, other righthander, had a sorry 3-21 record but he was 7-12 in 1953 with the St. Louis Browns. A fine hitter, he has been tried in the outfield. Hunter, 26, probably will be the Yankee shortstop, displacing the 36-year-old Rizzuto.

Asked if Hunter would be No. 1, Weiss said, "that would be my guess, unless Gerry Coleman makes a comeback or one of the kids comes REWARD CONGRATULATIONS-- Mrs. Anthony Martinez kisses her son, Vince, top photo, after he revealed yesterday he was offered a 520,000 bribe to throw his October 29 fight with Carmine Fiore in Madison Square Garden.
