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.

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.

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.

From Fast and West the athletes hail And only one man comes from Yale! We always feel a thrill of pleasure when we see Walter Camp’s All- American team in print.

It is the opinion of boxing experts J | 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. Americus and Strangler Lewis have a perfect right to hurl chal lenges at Frank Gotch, but if they do not have a care he may accept.

Turtles Get Stark For A1 Schweitzer MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec 19.—The Turtles have traded Outfielder A!

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.” i 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?’’ Mississippi After Game With Sewanee MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec. 19.~T> University of Mississippi fof team, just reinstated into the g> graces of the Southern Intercoliegi • Athletic Association, is endeavoring to arrange a football schedule fur i v : fall.
