By Chick Evans.
C "M HICAGO. Dec. 19.—Don* arti
cles are constantly being^ writ
ten concerning the brilliant
deeds of our greatest golfers, but a
few lines are usually considered suf
ficient for the acts of the olficials
who provide the scene and the set
ting for all the spectacular golf that
is* played To the successful forma
tion of golf as.sf* lations and the car
rying through of tournaments are
ritfvoted the executive ability and un
tiring devotion of many men; often
they are men of large affairs who
give freely their time and knowledge
fof the benefit of the younger men
Conspicuous among men of this I
flaws is H F. Smith, of Nashville,
president of the Southern Golf As-
Nol'iation. and one of the directors of
the W. G. A. Mr. Smith has been
largely responsible for the building j
up of the A. G. A., of which he has I
been continuously president since
1904, and for the widespread inter
est and constant Increase in golf play
ing throughout the Southern States.
In no part of the country Is inter
est in golf growing more rapidly than
In the South. This is the more re
markable because golf playing was
general In the East and Middle West
Jong before It was taken up in the
South. Yet it Is interesting to know
in this connection that a golf club
with officers and clubhouse existed
at Charleston. S. C.. as arly as Oc
tober, 1794. 1 do not know.how long
this lasted or how complete the gap
between this club and these later
opes of which we know, but for many
years there w’ere few' golf clubs and
but little interest In the game In the
South.
When Mr Smith became president
of the S. G. A. it was a very small
organization compared with the
mammoth association of to-day, and
the association is so convinced that
Mr. Smith is indispensable thUt it
will not permit him to resign.
Air Smith is also president of the
Tmnessee Golf Association, a nour
ishing little organization, and of the
nhpr Nashville Oolf and Country Club
ttflkt is planning a beautiful course on
t i»e historic Belle Mead Farm. But
Mr. Smiths labors for golf have not
been confined to the Southern States;
fdr years he served on the directorate
>flpt)u w G \ w .is viei pi • nidi nt
sqyeral years and in 1910 he was
elpfcted president to succeed C. F.
Tnompson. His administration wait
•fie of the most successful in the his
tory oL the organization For 1914
he will continue to serve the \Y. G. A.
as director.
Mr. Smith plays a very good game
of golf himself, although he learned
it^rather late in fife. Some years ago
he won the championship of the Na
tional Freight Traffic Men’s Associa
tion.

LOS ANGELES. I|ec. 19.—That he
told McGraw to look for another in-
fielder for the 1914 season was the
statement made to-day by Art Sha
fer, star utility man of the New York
Giants. Shafer says he has quit base
ball for good. McGraw has traded
Herzog to Cincinnati, and with Sha
fer refusing to play the National
League conqueror is up against it for
a third baseman.
McGraw visited Shafer when the
Giants and White Sox were in this
city and asked him if it was true that
he had quit baseball for good. Sha
fer said it was, and then McGraw
tried to have him change his mind.
He offered to make an exception in
Shafer’s ease and not have him join
the training squad at Marlin.
‘7 am in business with my father,
taking care of his estate,” said Shafer
to-day. "I am out of baseball for
ever.
"McGraw offered me a tempting
salary and every consideration possi
ble. but I just think in the long run
it would be better for me to remain
in' California. T want It understood
right now that I am not holding out.’’

*¥ ar THAT EVER may happen to the
\\/ rest of the rather lengthy roll
of Cracker athletes for the
team of 1914, the Walsh brothers are
hooked.
Their contracts were received
Thursday afternoon by President
Callaway.
There still is some doubt around
headquarters as to the division of la
bor by the pair. Their names are Ed
ward M, and James E., but which is
the catcher and which the infielder
nobody seems positive, not even Billy
Smith.
* * *
C OUNT CASTRO, the celebrated or
ator and suds-passer. is claiming
a good deal of credit for the hooking
of the Walsh family.
"It’s better to claim the credit be
fore the practice season." said the
Count, sagely. "Then, if they make
good, you can say, ‘I told you so,’ and
if they don't pan out. why, most folks
will have forgotten by that time who
tipped the club off to ’em."
* * *
A S a mat tar of fact, it was Mike
DonJJfl who slipped Castro rhe
hunch, irfider the Impression that the
Count was going to operate a Vir
ginia League club in the coming sea
son.
"Mike says they’re a great pair,’’
Raid Lou. "They’re kids; just 20 and
21 years oid. I understand. And Mike
says they are comers—young and am
bitious and full of the old pep. Char
ley Grapewine thinks a lot of ’em, too.
And those two birds are pretty wise
when it comes to spotting a ball play
er."
So Lou, feeling kindly disposed to
the Atlanta club—it was before he
signed with Chattanooga—and not
having any use at that moment for
the Messrs. Walsh, told Bill Smith
about the brothers, and Billy decided
to take a chance.
* * *
«‘l MET one of the boys while I was
* up East," is Bill’s testimony. "I
didn’t see him working, but 1 talked
to him. and he IBooks like a regular
ball player—and talks like one. Of
course. I haven’t any confidence in
this fellow Castro, you know. He’s
played ball for me—that is, he drew
a salary from the club, which he
transferred in the way of fines to the
president of the Jeagtoe. But he’s a
pretty good sort, and some folks think
he knows a ball player when he sees
one. Lou thinks so, for instance."
* * *
T-IERE’S a Stove League yarn about
* Long Larry McLean, the cele
brated ex-bonded warehouse.
It's an old one, dating back to the
first year of the White Hope craze,
at which time Larry was a member
of the Seattle ball club, out on the
Coast.
Being several inches better than six
feet long, and husky in proportion.
McLean was exploited by a. Seattle
writer as a likely White Hope, and
some pictures were published of him
in boxing poses.
* * *
THE idea caught on, and. not to be
1 outdone, a Portland sport writer
began to tout Rube Vickers, a big
chap, formerly a pitcher for the Ath
letics.
Jimmy Hughes, the exploiter of Mc
Lean, was justlv indignant.
"That guy's stealing your stuff,” ha
told Larry. "What do you think of
it?”
"It’s the limit," Larry agreed.
"Well, now, here’s what you do,"
said Larry’s friend. "You just cal.
his bluff. Portland plays here Fri
day. You get a set of boxing glover.,
call Vickers into the clubhouse, put
on one pair and throw the others
down in front of him, and dare him
to put ’em on. How do you like that
idea?”
"Fine," said Larry, "hut suppose the
blamed cuss puts ’em on?”
