Local Shrimp Industry Will Provide
Income For Many Years. Says Dealer
SHRIMPINC DOWN
OVER OTHER YEARS,
WEATHER HAMPERS

Key Vests multi-million
dollar shrimp industry has
shown a drop of about % per
cent over other years, but at
least one large operator here
feels that the supply of
pink gold" in the area will
provide an income for local
fishermen for many years to
come.
Manuel Vaz, who handles
about so boats fishing out of
Key West, said today that
the decrease, following the
1850 shrimp bonanza, Is
a natural thing and that 1--WE
will always have a good sup
ply of shrimp here"
"All it takes is active men 10
60 out after ii, he said, 'there 10
plenty to 60 around"
Vaz was questioned during
Citizen survey Of the industry
which has provided Key West with
healthy income since 1850 when
the virgin beds were discovered.
Annually. eight to nine million
pounds Of shrimp are shipped from
Key West to northern markets.

Shrimp taken from the Dry Tor

Shrimp catches are averaging
about five to six hundred pounds
per night and catches have been
reported up to a half ton in q sin
gle evening Of fishing.
The boats are bringing in from
10 to IS hundred pounds of the
valuable crustacean for a fiye-day
trip. The quality Of the shrimp
from the Campeche Banks near
the coast Of Mexico is somewhat
inferior these days. Il was pointed
out, due to their lack OF freshness
as result Of the length OF the
trip.
The weather, always bugbear
for fishermen. is hamperinR local
shrImping activities. even more so
than last years squaily season.
Some boats are fishing just two or
three nights in a weeks time.
One point favoring the local ne.
iivity is the fact that many Of the
boats which joined . mass.exodus
to Fort Myers late last year are

practically foregone conclu-
sion. Nobody cares about that.
The team has crossed millions
Of dollars through the world
because it has the rare ability to
make people laugh while demon
Strating superior skill in basket
ball.
The = chief laugh-getter is
Goose Tatum, the man with the
dangling arms and toothy grin.
People get a laugh just by look
ing at him. 1t is said that Tatum
could have been a great circus
clown.
Josh Grider, Ermer Robinson,
Bill Brown, Clarence Wilson and
j. P. Gibson are others who have
shown at Uline before.
But SaperStein isn't one to
let an act grow stale, even though
his Trotters haven't begun to
wear out their welcome any
where. Saperstein has picked
up two former college stars and
out-bid National Basketball AS
sociation teams to land them.
Walter Dukes, the 7-foot SEN
sation from Seton Hall, and Bill
Garrett, a former standout with
Indiana, are newcomers.
But despite Dukes great name,
he is not getting top billing to-
night. That distinction goes to
Tatum. And the ageless Negro
probably will hold it as long as
he feels like making people laugh.

Wants to Break Record.
Sporting a new pole of Fin

smashing, eventually, the world
record of Is feet 724 inches set
by Cornelius Warmerdam of the
Olympic Club of San Francisco.
Warmerdam's fabulous mark,
established in a meet at Modesto.
Calf, has stood for II years.
Richards has cleared Is feet
8 inches and track authorities
= say he is two years ahead of
Warm er d a m in comparative
careers. Warmerdam, Richards,
Laz and Don Cooper, former
University of Nebraska star, are
the only vaulters ever to attain
Is feet.
Competing here against Rich

of Yugoslavia, sent over by the
Sports Federation of YugoSlavia.
Milakov, who has cleared IA feet,
was 18th in the Helsinki Olym-
pics. Also invited is George Mat
tos of San Francisco who was
ninth in the Olympics.
Rivalry Began in 1850.

Bob Morcom of New Hampshire
the year before. to gain a leg on
the first three-year Geico Bowl.
In 1851 they deadlocked again
at IA feet 8 inches and thus were
called upon to flip for the tro-
ply. BY way of a wedding gift
to the newly married Laz, Rich
ards waived his claim to the
bowl
The pole vault provided the
sensation of The Star Games OF
1852. After Richards failed at
Is feet, Laz went over. But
re-measure revealed the bar was
a quarter inch short of Is. Then
Laz asked that it be set at 15
feet 3.
Third Try Successful.
On his first attempt at that
height he hit the bar going up.
On the second he dislodged it
coming down. -.-..
On the third and final try he
again tipped the bar. This time.
while the crowd held its breath,
the thing bounced. and teetered
but came to rest on the sup
ports for a meet record and a
