C HICAGO. Dec. 19—Long 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
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 this
class is H. F. Smith, of Nashville,
president of the Southern Golf As
sociation, and one of the directors of
the 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- I
e«t 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 I
general in the East 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., a* irly as Oc
tober, 1794. I do not know how long
this lasted or how complete the gap

between this club and these later
Ones of which wc know, hut 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. 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 la 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 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 jears 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 yenrs ago
he won the championship of the Na
tional Freight Traffic Men's Associa
tion.

ILWAUKEK, WIS, Dec. 19.—
Boxing fans aJl over the
country await with interest
the outcome of to-night's ten-round
bout between Ad.Wolgast, claimant
of the 133-pound championship of the
world, and Charlie White, the Chi
cago whirlwind, in Frank Mulkerns
boxing arena.
Kver since Ritchie lifted the llghr-
weight limit to 135 pounds Ad has
claimed his old honors. He is hacked
by several experts In this country,
who think It will not be very much
longer Ivefore Ritchie will be forced
to join Packey McFarland and fight
at a higher weight.
Although Wolgaat rules a 10 to 7
favorite over White, many are expect
ing Gharlle to spring the surprise of
the year and stop Ad. White has long
been noted for the punch he carries
In his left hand, and he has prom
ised to uncork it several times to
night.
Outside of hi* 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. route.
Joe Thomas. “Kid” Kansas. Jako
Abel, Mickey Sheridan, Oscar Wil
liams, George Meyers and Tommy
Rrcsnahan 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 here.
Dundee and White have met twice
and each holds a victory. Promoter
Mulkern has promised to bring Dun
dee here for the bout if White wins.
On the other hand, should Wolgast
trim the Chicago boy. Ad says he will
go Fast for a ten-round bout in New
York, after which he will take a trip
to the Coast and make another at
tempt to force Willie Ritchie into an
other match with him.
Both hoys heve worked hard for the
fray and appear to he on edge for the
fight of their lives They have agreed
to weigh 133 pounds at 3 o'clock, tne
real lightweight limit.

Shafer Through With

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19—That he
told McGraw to look for another in
flelder for the 1914 season was the
statement made to-day by Art Sha

Giants. Shafer says he has quit base
ball for good. McGraw has traded
Herzog to Cincinnati, and with Sha

League conqueror Is up against it for

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

"I am in business with my father,

Walsh Brothers
^•4+ 4**+
Here’s One on
Sign Contracts’
+•+ •{.•4- +•*
Larry McLean
By 0. B. Keeler.
W HATEVER may happen to the
rest of the rather lengthy roll
of Cracker athletes for the
team of 1914, the W r alsh 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 oven 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
Donlin who slipped Castro the
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/
I5aid IjOU. “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 pep. Char
ley Grapewine thinks a lot of ’em, too.
And those two birds are pretty wise
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
1 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 ’eague. 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.”
LJERE’S a Stove League yarn about
1 1 Long Larry McLean, the cele
brated ex-bonded warehouse.
It’s an old one, dating hack to the
first year of the White Hope craze,
at which time Larry was a member
of the Seattle ball club, out on ths
Coast.
Being several inches better than six
feet long, and husky in proportion,
McLean was exploited by a Seattle
wrriter as a likely White Hope, and
some pictures were published of him
In boxing poses.

Jimmy Hughes, the exploiter of Mc

“That guy’s stealing your stuff,"
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 call
his bluff. Portland plays here Fri

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 that
idea?”
"Fine,” said Larry, “but suppose the
blamed cuss puts ’em on?”
