By Chick Evans.
C HICAGO, Dec. 19.—Dong arti
cles arc 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 officials
who provide the scene and the set
ting for all the spectacular golf that
j« played. To the successful forrqa-
i oti of golf associations and the car
rying thmugh 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
< lass is H. F. Smith, of Nashville,
president o'f the Southern Golf As
sociation. and one of the directors of
the VT. G. A. Mr. Smith has been
largely responsible for the building
up of the S. Cl. 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 Fast 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. C.p as irly as Oc
tober, 1794 I do pot know how long
this lasted ©r how complete tfye gap
between this club and these later i
• •ties of W'hlch wo know, but for many j
.'ears there were few golf clubs and!
but little interest in the game In the
South.
When Mr. Smith became president
of the S. (I. A. it was a very small
organization compared with the
mammoth association of to-day, and
ihe association is so convinced that
Mr. Smith 1h indispensable that it
will not permit him to resign.
Mr. Smith is also president of the
Tennessee Golf Association, a nour
ishing little organization, and of the
new Nashville Golf and Uountry Club
That is planning a beautiful course on
The historic Belle Mead Farm. But
Mr. Smith's 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 he 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
he will continue to serve the W. G. A.
as director.
Mr Smith pla>s 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.

to Join Paekey McFarland and fig lit
at a higher weight.
Although Wolgast rules a 10 to 7
favorite over White, many are expect
ing Charlie to spring the surprise of
the year and stop Ad. White has long i
been noted for the punch he carries
in his left hand, and he has prom- J
ised to uncork it several times t >-
night.
Outside of his rec ent .bout with j
Dundee, when sonic of the critics
gave Johnny a shade. White has rolled
up a remarkable record this year. He
has had eighteen fights and has won
fourteen of them over the K o. roui
Joe Thomas, “Kid" Kansas, Jala
Abel, Mickey Sheridan, Oscar Wil
liams, George Meyers and Tommy
Hresnahan are some of the boys who
were handed the sleep producer.
Should White succeed in trimming
Wolgast, he will meet Johnny Dun
dee In a return engagement hen.
Dundee ami White have met twice
and each holds a victory. Promoter
Mulkern has promised to bring Dun
dee here for the bout if White wins.
< >n the other hand, should Wolgast
trim the Chicago boy. Ad says he will
go East for a ten-round bout In New
York, after which he will take a trio
to the Coast and make another at
tempt to force Willie Ritchie into an
other match with him.
Roth boys heve worked hard for toe

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19.-That he
told McGraw to look for another in -
fielder for thr 1914 season was the
statement made to-day by Art Sha
fer, star utility man of the New Y'ork
Giants. Shafer says he has quit base
ball for good. McGraw has traded
Ilerzog ‘o\ Cincinnati, and with Sha
fer refusing to play 4iie 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 ai Marlin.
"1 am in business with my father,
taking care of his estate," said Shafer
to-day. "1 am out of baseball for

x -r tHATEVER 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 BiPy
Smith.
pOUNT 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 vhe practice soason, " said the
Count, sagely. "Then, if they make
good, you can say, ‘I told you so,' and
if jthey don’t pan out, why, most folks
wfll have forgotten by that time who
tipped the club off to ’em."
* * *
A S a matter of fact, it was Mike
Donlin who slipped Castro 'he
hunch, under 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.' 1
raid Lou. “They're kids; just 20 and
21 years old, I understand. And Mike
says they are corners—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 : s •
when it comes to spotting a ball play~
er.”
So Lou, feeling kindly disposed ‘■>
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.
* • *
**F 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 Cjfstro, you know. He’s
played ball for me—that is, he drew
a salary from the club, which he
transferred in the vva*v of fines to the
president of the Vague. But he's a
pretty good sort, and some folks think
he knows a ball player when he sees
bne. Lou thinks so, for instance."

T-JERE’S a Stove League yarn about
1 1 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,
a: which time Larry v.as 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, ami
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.'' he
told Larry. "What do you think of
it?"
“It's the limit,” Larry agreed.
"Well, now, here’s what you d*\"
said Larry’s friend. "You just ca'.
his bluff. Portland plays here F’r
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 th;.;
idea?"
“Fine," said Larry, "but suppose the
blamed cuss puts ’em on?"

Mediation of National League’s
New President May Be Nec
essary to Avert Row.
By Frank G. Menke.
N r EW YORK, Dec. 19.—One of the
I first official acts of President
Tener, of the National League,
mav be to settle the dispute between
he incinnati and Brooklyn baseball
, ,i;i»s oyer the possession of Joe Tink-
, hose transfer to the Dodgers was
ed by the Reds’ board of di
re*' rs after he had been sold by
President AugUst Herrmann.
Kbbets* position in baseball law is
strong, and the roar he is making over
the stopping of the deal is waking
unpleasant echoes in the baseball
world, at a time when It most needs
quiet.
Ebbets does not Intend to let Cin
cinnati back out of the sale, and will
ask the man higher up to decide the
matter, or flipeal to the National
Commission.
The deal was made by the Brook
lyn club in good faith," said Ebbets
4o-day. "We offered $25,000 for Tink
er. and this offer was accepted by
President Herrmann in behalf of the
• incinnati club.
President Herrman, like every
other president in the Natonal
League, is fully authorized to make
trades, sales, and purchase players,
and under baseball law the trade will
stand.
"As to the Cincinnati suggestion
that we give up Yingling or Ragon
and Stengel or Moran, the deal was
made without any such condition, and
a condition of that sort can not be
added now. It is not in my power to
give up any of these players, and it is
not within the privilege of the Cincin
nati club to insist or. any claim on
any of them.”
