F. Smith, of Nashville, Given j Credit for Rapid Growth of the Game in Dixie. Ry < 'lli<-k Evans. C -A HICAOO, Do< 10 -Long ;«rtl- rles are constantly being writ ten concerning the brilliant deeds of our greatest golfers, but h few lines are usually considered suf ficient for the acts of the officials •who provide the scene anti the set ting for all ttwr 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 this <la.ss is II F. Smith, of Nashville, president of the Southern Golf As sociation. and one of the directors of ttie W. G. A. Mr. Smith has been largely responsible for the building up of the S. G. A., of which he 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 Hast 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 F. as irly as Oc tober. 1794. I do not know how long this lasted nr how complete the gap between this club and these later ones of which we know, but for many ' ears there were few golf clubs and hut 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 that it will not permit him to resign. Mr. Smith is also president of 1 lie Tennessee 4Solf Association, a flour ishing little organization, and of the new Nashville Golf and Country Club that is planning a beautiful course on the historic Belle Mead Farm. But Mr. Smiths labors for golf have not been confined to the Southern States; for years he served on the directorate of the W G. A . was vice president several years and in 1910 ho was elected president to succeed C. F Thompson. His administration was one of the most successful in the his tory of the organization For 1914 be w ill continue to serve the W. G. A. as director. Mr Smith plays a very go<yl game of golf himself, although he learned :» rather late m life Some \ ears/ago he won the championship of the Na tional Freight Traffic Men s Assodla- t ion.

I of the Seattle ball club, out on th>/ 1 1 Coast. ■ Being several inches better than six feet long, and husky in proportion, McLean was exploited by a Seattle, w riter as a likely White Hope, and some pictures were published of him in boxing poses. 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. ‘1 told you so,' and if they don’t pan out, why, most folks will have forgotten by that time who Upped the club off to ’em." | THE idea caught on. and. not to i ° A outdone, a Portland sport wribr began to tout Rube Vickers, a l* 2 chap, formerly a pitcher for the Ath letics. Jimmy Hughes, the exploiter of M - Lean, was justlv indignant. "That guy’s stealing your stuff." h# told Larry. "What do you think f it?” "It’s the limit.” Larry agreed.

Dec. 19. —That he told McGraw to took 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 io Cincinnati, and with Sha fer refusing to play the National League tonopieror 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 case and not have him join the training squad at Marlin. "I am in business with my father, taking care of his estate," said Shafer to-day. "I am out of baseball for- \ ever A S a matter *of fact, it was Mike Donlin who slipped Castro the hunch, under Ljie impression that the Count was going to operate a Vir-" ginia League club in the coming sea son.

If the Tigers will not accept the game, Arkansas will probably be taken "n by Ole Miss. . *1 MET one of the boys w hile I was * up East." is Bill’s testimony. "1 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 (‘astro, you l^now. 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 league. But he's a pretty good sort, and some folks think lie knows a ball player when he sees one. Lou thinks so, for instance."
