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.

Some say Mr. Wells has a weak jaw and some say he has a weak stomach, but there is a strong sus i picion that the weakness is in his backbone.

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.’’ By O. B. Keeler. *¥ 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?” Mississippi After Game With Sewanee MEMPHIS, TENN„ Dec. 19.—The University of Mississippi football team, just reinstated into the good graces of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, is endeavoring to arrange a football schedule for next fall.
