Shnmping Down In KeyWestAs Result
Of REGULAR Seasonal Exodus Of Boats
Operators More
North To Escape
Hurricanes

Shrimping activities in Key West
are undergoing their regular sea-
son slump, a survey of the water
front showed today. While IN the
peak months of the year there
have been as many as 500 boats
here in search of the pink gold"
which abound in surrounding
waters, it was reported that there
are now considerably less than 100.
The hurricane season is the chief
reason for the exodus of the boats.
according to most spokesman. Key
West, with its unprotected harbor
offers little protection against the
dangerous storms which blow up
from tropical waters south of here.
During the hurricane months, it
has been the custom for shrimpers
to move north to Fort Myers, st.
Augustine, Georgia and the Caro-
linas to escape the tropical storms.
One spokesman said that many of
the boat operators have families in
north Florida cities and that they
prefer to fish up there during the
hurricane season.
An exception at this time, is the
97-foot shrimper the Spot Pack"
which is in Key West picking up
supplies preparatory to an extend

Separation; Drops His

NEW YORK R-Billy Rose to-

a separation and left it up to a
State Supreme Court judge to set

After Withdrawing his divorce

Caroline Street Attack
Victim Defends Story
ANSWERS Letter
Accusing Her OF
"Dream'ing Up"
Rape Incident
BY Jim Cobb

A young Caroline Street Matron
who was allegedly the victim of a
criminal attack as she slept early
last Thursday morning, stormed in
to The Citizen office this morning,
in protest against a letter which
appeared in Mondays peoples
Forum.
81 don't know who wrote that

that l am interested in publicity is

W7HEN the 1852 baseball season opened
w Tuesday, you probably noticed an un-
usual number of strange names in the box
scores. They belong to bunch of young
sters who are currently getting the chance of
lifetime. This years crop of rockies is one
of the biggest ever to hit the big leagues.
Their success or failure can mean the diff
erence between pennant and finish in the
second division for any club. Where, for ex-
ample, would the Yankees have been last
year without Gil cDougald - or the Giants
without Willie Mays? Not in the World
Series.
Which will be the lucky club to come up
with rookie of that caGber this year? No
body can possibly say, because there's moth
ing more unpredictable than rookie. But
among the better-looking prospects are the
pair on our cover Throwing to first is Davey
Williams of the Giants. Only q years old,
Williams has been Giant property since 1948
when he was $65, 600 cash. and players pu-
chase from Atlanta. After seasoning at
Minneapolis, he was promoted to the Polo
Grounds late last year and played in 80 games
This will be his big make -or-break year.
The Baxteu Type
WILLIAMS is flashy and very fast. Not big
man (6ve-feet-1O he develops fair degree
of power at the plate. But it's his work
around second base that makes him a stand
out. Manager Leo Durocher and Shortstop
AL Dark are both enthusiastic on this point.
Said Dmocher: ''E1e and Dark will give US
another great second-base combination"
The Dick Bartell type of ballplayer, full
of fight and confidence, Williams says he fully
expects to make the grade.
The boy sliding into second on our cover is
unassuming Leon Brinkopf of the Chicago
Cubs who have turned down an offer running

into six figures for him. Leon was working on
his fathers farm at Cape Girardeau, Mo-,
where the St. Louis Browns were training.
One day when one of the nielders went into.
the dugout for drink, Leon picked up glove
and walked out to his position. Next thing he
knew he was professional ball player. The
Browns farmed him out; eventually he was
picked up by the Cubs and sent to Des
Moines and then Los Angeles. Last year
against tough Pacific Coast League pitching
he rammed out Is home runs and batted in
SO runs. Basically third baseman, Leon can
also operate efficiently in the outfield and may
wind up there
Hoensby's Boy
PROBABLY the most talked about rookie of
the year is the Browns Jim Rivera, who
seems to have everything it takes to be star.
With Seattle last year this 30-year- old out
fielder led the Pacific Coast League in practi-
cally every department. He was tops in
batting (.352), runs. total bases and doubles.
He socked 20 homers, drove in liz runs and
stole 80 bases. What more can you ask?
Rivera was first discovered by Rogers
Hornsby, who sent him to Seattle. Last
winter when the Rajah took over the Browns,
the first player he asked for was Rivera.
Hes the one player in modern baseball I'd
pay money to see, Hornsby said. That guy
can beat you with great catch, great
throw, bunt, home run or stolen base."
Rivera himself is grimly determined to
make good. He speaks pleasantly, laughs
easily off the field, but once he puts on his
spikes he's another person. He runs hard,
swings hard Every move on the ball field is
made with deadly intensity. It's difficult
to see how he can miss

club. Most colorful undoubtedly is l9-year-
old pitcher who may turn out to be another
Dizzy Dean, at least in some ways. Whether
Gene Conley can pitch like Diz remains to
be seen; he's towering (six-feet-eight) right
handler who won 20 and lost for Hartford
last year. Gene claims he has to sit on bench
to take shower, and wouldn't have the nerve
to ask boy for shoeshine - he wears size
H. This is probably untrue, because Conley
appears to have enough nerve for anything.

fresh rookie, there's the only guy who ever

Rowe was working semi-pro game few
years ago and Conley was pitching. Red lost
count and called batter out on two strikes.

Bucky Walters are both confident he'll be an
ace for the Braves within couple of years.

FIuvanna Man Convicted
OF Trying 10 Attack Woman
BY the Associated Press

PALMYRA, Va, Oct. 25.-Wal.
ter James Woodson, 35, colored
late last night was convicted Of
attempting to rape a Fluvanns
County white woman and sen.
fenced to life Imprisonment.
The verdict was returned al
midnight after an hour of delib.
Grafton by a county circuit court
jury.
Woodson, of near Columbia, was
found guilty on a charge brought
by an unmarried 46-year-old wom-
an. She testified Woodson came
to her house the night of August
6 and then tried to rape her after
dragging her out of the house into
the garden. She said only the
arrival of neighbors saved her.
Woodson took the stand last
night to insist he was home in
bed at the time the offense re-
portedly took place. His mother,
Mrs. Annie Woodson, backed up
that testimony.
