Barefoot Women Bring
Fishing Luck to Skipper
By HARRY GRAYSON
Newspaper Enterprise Sport* Editor
Sarasota, Fla., —* (NEA) —
Capt. Frank Roberta Sr. has
been an off-shore fisherman, in
Florida for nigh on. 70 years.
In that length of time a body
fs bound to get some peculiar
idea# and Capt. Frank has one
that’s a “beaut” — especially
for a doep-sea man.
“Ladies bring me luck when
1 have them aboard," twinkled
the cherubic old salt, fractur-
ing every tradition of the sea
that brands women jinxes, Jon-
ahs, hoodoos and just plain
nuisances. "They make the
best fishermen because they
do what you tell them — and
they fish barefooted.” c 1'
One of hi# cronies in the .Roberts Sr. “I
group on the pier in Sarasota
accused the 78-year-old chart-
er boat skipper of being an in-
curable ladies’ man with a pro-
found knowledge of the fair
sex. Capt Prank did not deny
the charge. He brushed it aside
with a sly grin.
“Barefoot fishing’s the
best,” he continued. “It gives
you the feel of Die fish you’re
playing. I never wore shoes
while I fished until a few years
ago."
Capt. Frank also has another
odd belief.
"All good fishermen -r the
ones who come back — lose
fiah,” he thinks. "They come
back again and again to get the
one they lost. And luck, that
plays a bigger part than most
people will admit. I had a doc-
tor from North Carolina who
landed seven tarpon on seven
strikes his first time out 30
years ago. Right away he be-
came a recognized local auth-
ority on tarpon. He’s hardly
landed another since, but he's
still an authority because of
that first run of luck.”
Capt. Frank operates a ship-
shape 36-foot lapstrake cabin
cruiser which is equipped! with
all modem improvements, in-
cluding ship-to'fhore t e 1 g -
phone, depth finder and four
fighting chairs. The twin-en-
gine beauty is a far cry from
his early days of steering
clients to spots where fish
abound.
“I was bom in Sarasota
when it was just a fishing vil-
lage,” he recalled. “I started
to fish for fun when I was
eight and by the time I was
10 I started taking peoplrwt
to off-shore fishing grounds
in a sailboat.”
The largest fish Capt. Frank
ever caught was a 5,000 pound
devil ray, which measured 19
feet, 6 inches by i8 feet, 0
inches was five feet thick. The
mpnster’s mouth was four and
a half feet widp. Capt Frank
was out with a bunch of the
beys in 1932 just having some
fun when he harpooned the
awesome creature about 2 p.
m. a half-mile from the beach.
“The critter took us way
out of sight of land and we
couldn’t bring it in until 6
o’clock the next morning,”
Roberts remembered. “We
kept it on display in the har-
bor for a day, then towed it
back out and turned it loose.”
Capt, Frank went overboard
involuntarily just once, when

Quits Pro Work
By CHARLES MOREY
There have been greater
quarterbacks in pro football
than Charlie Conerly . v Otto
Graham, for one* and possibly
Sid Luckman and Frankie Al-
bert There have been better
passing quarterbacks, Sammy
Baugh, to name just one.
There have been better ball
handlers ■ • . many better ball
handlers than the quiet man
from Mississippi.
But there never has been, a
quarterback who filled the bill
of professional football player
more tjian Charlie.
Always the pro was Charlie.
In the years when the New
York Giants played at the Polo
Grounds and he was trying to
make the switch from single
Wing football to the “T,” Char-
lie often heard the unhappy
sound of booing fans. He was
clumsy at first. And the Giants
weren’t much on pass protec-
tion in those days. There were
years when Conerly Was hori-
zontal as often as he was ver-
tical. But he always got up
without a complaint and went
back to the fight.
The Cleveland Browns had
a tall defensive end named Len
could make the blocki^l hit
just a little harder and the ball
carriers run with a shade mdH*
drive. One big reason was €he
fact that the other guys ’On!
the team knew that Charlie
could take the hard knocks ‘of
pro football without a whimp-
fr. '
He wasn't whimpering yes-
terday when he announced his
retirement as an active player
for the Giants.

Georgia supreme court has rul-
ed that a negligent golfer is lia-
ble for injuries he causes to
others. The decision allows J.
K, Thomas of Albany, Ga., to
bring a $25,000 negligence suit
against. R. W. Shaw. Thomas
claims Shaw teed off and hook-
ed his ball, hitting Thomas in
the eye and causing a perman-
ent loss of 96 per cent in his
vision. Thomas claims Shaw
we# negligent in not calling
“fore,” the traditional golfers’
warning.
Thomas also describes Shaw
as “so inexpert a golfer that
he was and is not able to con-
trol the direction hia golf ball
travels after being driven by
him, it not being unusual for
him to either slice or hook the
ball.”_
