C HICAGO, Dec. 1ft.— Dong 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 officials
who provide the scene and the set-
*jng 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 this
class is H F. Smith, of Nashville,
president of the Southern Golf As
sociation, and one of the directors of
the W. O. A Mr. Smith has been
largely responsible for the building
up of the S. G. A., of which he has
been continuously president since
1004, 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 . as rly as Oc
tober, 1794. 1 do not know how long
this lasted or how complete the gap
between this club and these later
ones of which we know', but for many
years there were few golf clubs and
but little interest in the game in the
South.
When Mr. Smith became president
of the S O. 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 the
Tennessee Golf Association, a flour
ishing little organization, and of the
new Nashville Golf and Country Club
that is planning a beautiful Course on
the historic Hells Mead Farm. Hut
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 plays a very good game
of golf himself, although he learned
It rather late in life. Some years ago
he w on the championship’of the Na
tional Freight Traffic Men’s Associa
tion.

Although Wolgast rules a 10 to 7

been noted for the punch ho carrier
in his lift hand, and he has prom
ised to uncork it several times to
night.
Outside of his recent bout with
Dundee, when some 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. rout**.

Dundee and White have met twice

Herzog Selected to
Manage Cincinnati
Team Next Season
CINCINNATI, Dec. 19.—Charles
Herzog, former member of the New
York and Boston (National League)
clubs, will be manager of the Cincin
nati team for tin* season of 1914. Aft
er a conference with the board of di
rectors and a second conference wi n
President August Herrmann and Sec
retary Harry Stephens last night,
Herzog signed a contract as a player
for a year, and then was officially
made manager.
Herzog steps into the position
•made vacant by the sale of- former
Manager Joe Tinker to the Brooklyn
•club. He will play at shortstop, as
did Tinker, and guide the team on
the field. Herzog outlined his ideas
of a winning team to the hoard of
directors and they were approved.
Herzog is 28 and was horn in Bal
timore. He is a graduate of Mary
land Fniverslty, and after a short
minor league exne - ience was signed by
Manager McGraw for the New Yo> k
team, with which he played in 1903
and 1909. lie was traded to the Bos
ton (National League) team and
played with that club through the
season of 1910 and about ha.f of the
season of 1911. when he was brought
back to New York by a deal made for
him hy McGraw.
The New York leader recently made
a trade for him with Cincinnati ’n
which the New York club gave Her
zog and Catcher Hartley for Ou;-
flelder Boh Bescher.

Tom Brand, of the university basket

hr read the sport page o'er,
’’For this talk about ten thousand
bones has troubled me full sore.

the price they paid for me
''If 1 sign to plug in Brooklyn far
across the bounding sea.
“But if Herrmann amputates himself
from that amount of dough
“l am fear fullest the poor old gent
will not survive the blow."
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.
“My hands are tied,” quoth Mr.
Murphy, who evidently has learned to
run the typewriter with his feet.
As we understand it. Cap Anson s
pension from the National league
will t>e a more or less pleasant smile.
The N. L. magnates would be per
fectly willing to pension Mr. Anson
if it could be done without going to
any expense.

Turtles Get Stark
For A1 Schweitzer
MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec 19.—The
Turtles have traded Outfielder A!
Schweitzer to the Sacramento club
for Infielder Dolly Stark, a Memphis
I boy, and formerly a member of the
I Little Rock team.
Dolly is slated to take the place of !
Willis Butler at short for the Tur- j
ties in the next campaign.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19.—That he
told McGraw to look for another in-
fielde^ 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 ednqueror 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. I
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. I
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- j
ble, but I just think in the long run i
it would be better for me to remain !
In California. I want it understood J
right now that I am not holding out.”

Walsh Brothers
Here's One on
Bv 0. B. Keeler.
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 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 matter of fact, it was Mike
F* Donlin who slipped Castro rhe
hunch, under the ’.mpression that the
Count was going to operate a Vir
ginia League club in the coming sea
son.
“Mike says they’re a great pair.’’
«?aid Lou. “They’re kids; just 20 and
21 years old, I understand. And Mike
says they are comers—young and am
bitious and full of the old oep. 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.
* • *
MET one o& 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
a salary from the club, which he
transferred in the way of fines to the
president of the ’eagne. 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.’’

LIERE’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,
at which time Larry was a member
Sign Contracts
Larry McLean
of the Seattle ball club, out on th«
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, am]
some pictures were published of him
In boxing poses.
• • •
THE Idea caught on, and, not to be
A outdone, a Portland sport writer
began to tout Rube Vickers, a IMg
chap, formerly a pitcher for the Ath
letics.
Jimmy Hughes, the exploiter of Mc
Lean, was Justly indignant.
“That guy's stealing your stuff," be
told Larry. “What do you think ot
It?"
"It’s the limit," Larry agreed.
“Well, now, here’s what you do,’’
said Larry’s friend. “You Just call
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 othen
down in front of him, and dare hint
to put ’em on. How do you like that
Idea?”
“Fine,” said Larry, "but suppose the
blamed cuss puts ’em on?’’
