C HICAGO, Dec. 19.—Long arti
cles are constantly being writ
ten concerning the brilliant
deeds of our greatest golfers, but a
few r lines are usually considered .suf
ficient for the acts of the officials
who provide the scene and the set
ting for all the spectacular golf that
is played To the successful forma
tion of golf associations and the car
rying through of tournaments are
devoted the executive ability and un
tiring devotion of many men; often
they are men of large affairs who
give freely their time and knowledge
for the benefit of the younger men
Conspicuous among men of tin*
class la H i Smith, of N&shvlfi
president of the Southern Golf Ah
sociation. and one of the directors <
the W. G. A. Mr. Smith has bee
largely responsible for the building
up of the s G. A . <»r which h< has
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 Kast and Middle West
long 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. (’., as irly as Oc
tober. 1794. I do not know' how long
this lasted or how complete the gap
between this club and these later
opes of which w'e know, but for many
.sears there were 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
MV. Smith is indispensable that it
w^ll not permit him to resign
Mr. Smith is also president of the
Tennessee Golf Association, a flour
ishing little organization, and of tlie
nqw Nashville Golf and Country Club
that is planning a beautiful course on
the historic Belle Mead Farm. But
Mr. Smith’s labors for golf have not
bden confined to the Southern States;
foir vears he served on the directorate
of. the W. G. A. was vice president
serverai years and in 1910 he was
elected president to succeed C. F.
Thompson. Mis administration was
one of the most successful in the his
tory of the organization. For 1914
he will continue to serve the W. G. A.
as director.
Mr Smith plays a very good game
of golf himself, although he learned
it rather late in life. Some years ago
he won the championship of the Na
tional Freight Traffic Men’s Associa
tion.

Turtles Get Stark
For A1 Schweitzer

. told McGravv to look for another in-
} fielder for the 1914 season was the
statement made to-day by Art Sha-

Giants. .Shafer says he has quit base
ball for good. McGraw has traded
Herzog to Cincinnati, and with Sha-
f fer refusing to play the National
League ronqueror 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
lie had quit baseball for good. Sha
fer said «t was, and then McGraw
tried to have him change his mind.
He offered to make an exception in
Shafer’s case and not have him join
the training squad at Marlin.

to-day. “I am out of baseball for- 5

W HATEVER 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 stili is some doubt arour.d
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 inflelder
nobody seems positive, not even Billy
Smith.
* ♦ *
C OUNT CASTRO, the celebrated or-
aYor 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, ‘l told you so,’ and
if they don’t pan out. why, most folk.-?
will have forgotten by that time who
Lipped the club off to ’em.”
» i * *
\ S a rajWter of fact, it was Mike
Don® who slipped Castro r he
hunch, urfder the inpression that the
Count was going to operate a Vir
ginia League club in the coming sea
son.
"Mike says they're a great pairC
fcaid Lou. “They’re kids; just 20 and
21 years old, 1 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 w’se
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.
* * *
“T MET one of the boys while I was
‘ up East.” is Bill’s testimony. “I
didn’t see him working, but I talked
to him. and he looks 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
r salary from the club, which he
transferred in the way of fines to the
president of the league. 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.”

1J ERE'S a Stove League yarn about
* 1 Long Larry McLean, the cele
brated ex-bonded warehouse.
Tt'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

McLean w r as exploited by a SeaUl**
writer as a likely White Hope, and

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 Fr -
day. You get a set of boxing glover,
call Vickers into the clubhouse, pm
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, “but suppose :ne
