Smith, of Nashville, Given Credit for Rapid Growth of the Game in Dixie. Bv ('iii<-k Evans. 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.

It is the opinion of boxing experts that Bombardier Wells would be a successful fighter if the other fellow would only refrain from hitting him. Some say Mr. Wells has a weak jaw and some say he has a weak stomach, but there is a strong sus picion that the weakness is in his backbone. While Mr. Tinker undoubtedly is gratified to read that he is about to be handed $10,000, he is also aware that it is practically impossible to pay the rent with conversational money.

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.

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 Coast. Being several inches better than six feet long, and husky in proportion McLean w r as exploited by a SeaUl** writer as a likely White Hope, and some pictures were published of him in boxing poses. * * • THE idea caught on. and. not to op A outdone, a. Portland sport writer began to tout Rube Vickers, a b;z chap, formerly a pitcher for the Ath letics. Jimmy Hughes, the exploiter of Mc Lean, was justlv indignant. 'That guy’s stealing your stuff. * h® 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 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.
