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.

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.

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 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.

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. ask ina’ or "] lyn 10-4 f*r, Pr€ in THE idea caught on, and, not to bt 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," 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 day. You get a set of boxing gloves, 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?” .Mi Lea ira fine ?ta ha am ma ;ni( giv nol Mississippi After Game With Sewanee MEMPHIS, TENN., Dec. 19.—Th« University of Mississippi football team, just reinstated into the good graces of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, is endeavoring to arrange a football schedule for next fall.
