Ii U NEW YORK - The recent gangland slaying of mobster Carmine Galante, who was gunned down in the rear of an Italian restaurant last week, has brought fear to many New Yorkers of an ensuing gang warin the Big Apple. Yet unlabelled as such, a different type of gang war is taking place in New York City. Like the mob's gang war, this one involves a struggle for power and turf. Yet the mob's use of guns and bullets differs from the other's use of words and the local press. And whereas one is illegal, the other is legal. This gang war revolves around the small but expensive piece of turf in the Bronx. The principle characters are the Godfather (George Steinbren- ner), who doubles as a shipping magnate; his hit man, (Billy Martin), who with the exception of time with other bossmen in Texas, Minnesota and Detroit is a Bronx organization man; and Reggie "October" Jackson, an artist with his bat as well as his mouth, who doubles asa candyman. As the story goes, the Godfather, who bought outright his turf, wanted to make a neo-dynasty out of the boys from the Bronx. As he went about his business, he called in Martin to run his high- priced outfit. The hit man Martin had a fierce reputation as a fighter. Brilliant when it came to strategy and planning, his one fault lies in his ability to communicate. Being from the old dynasty, Martin had trouble backing it with his young crew, especially his most prized possession, Jackson. The real feud between Martin and Jackson oc- curred last summer. Martin blamed Jackson for not hustling, and a shoving match resulted before a national TV audience. What did Martin expect from Jackson; After all, it wasn't October yet. Nevertheless, the Godfather had to correct this embarrassing and deteriorating situation. With the advice of Al Rosen, the Godfather prematurely retired Martin and brought in the Lemon connection from Chicago. Squeezed Lemon The Lemon kid knew his stuff. He knew strategy as well as how to handle the volatile slugger. Put in the precarious position of handling the God- father as well as Jackson, the Lemon kid smoothed over the troubled spots and managed to pull the Bronx boys from a 14% game deficit onto their second straight world championship. Mean- while, the Godfather promised Martin before an Old Timers Day crowd that he'd have his job back again in one year. Hopefully, this would give the. slugger enough time to heal his wounds. But in a recent move of pure power and dominance, the Godfather brought Martin back swiftly and suddenly. This move was the begin- ning of the new Bronx gang war. The rapid change of command for the Yankees really brought few surprises. The sudden and swift change from Martin to Lemon was just as sudden and swift as the change from Lemon to Martin. This is the nature of the ball club and the front office. Despite the most recent change, all . fans- question what Martin's second ,term will will it change Yanks? mean in terms of Jackson. The return of Martin brought little advance as far as standings were concerned. The Yankees are currently 11% games back, as compared to 14 back last year when Lemon came in. Yet things were too quiet. For the Yankees, this calm was like the period before a storm. Thunder came only a few days ago, when the Godfather canned his president, Rosen in a shakeup of his organization, although according to Rosen, he resigned. With the absence of Rosen from the front office, the Yankees have a new organization. Rosen ably handled the hot tempers of the Godfather, Martin and Jackson. Now that he's gone, those hotheads will be left to fend for themselves. Essentially, the mediator is gone from the Bronx scene. Martin now has what he'd always wanted. He's both the field manager and general manager. His influence on the club now goes beyond the field in- to the front office. He has a one-on-one situation with Steinbrenner. It will be interesting to see how this new power affects Martin. Martin must respect Jackson as much as possible, even though the two are bitter enemies. Jackson is just too precious to the team as they eye the latter part of the season. Nobody, however, not even Reggie can tell you that he wan- ts out of the Bronx mob. His public comments about Rosen's luck in leaving the organization sums up his feelings. As for Martin, he's got his close encounter with Steinbrenner to look forward to. He now assumes a huge responsibility on a club were few seem to accept any.
