		By 1929 Lewis was in financial straits and sold the Red Sox; in 1929 the club became the property of two prominent Memphis African American doctors, brothers W. and J. Martin (no relation to A. P.), who had been part of the 1929 group of owners.
		The Red Sox and the stadium remained in the hands of the remaining Martins until 1960, when prior to the baseball season, the team disbanded and the stadium was sold.
		Apparently the Red Sox team was a NSL charter member and remained in the league until 1923, when it either became independent for that year or joined as an "associate" member of the NNL.
