Racehorses Can’t Talk, but They Are Both Good and Bad Actors at Various Times EII1S P SIC SOUTHERN SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Sometimes It y s Not So Bad To Be Sick ] H. F. Smith, of Nashville, Given Credit for Rapid Growth of the Game in Dixie. By (Turk Evans. C -^HIOAQO, Dec. 19 -Long nr cles are constantly being writ- ten concerning the brilliant deeds of our greatest golfers, but a few lines are usually conFblered 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 wh give freely their time and knowledg for the benefit of the younger men Conspicuous among men of this i lass is H. F. Smith, of Nashville, president of the Southern Golf As , sooiation, and one of the directors of the W. G. A. Mr. Smith has been largely responsible for the building , up of the S. (I. 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 j 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, hut for many years there were few golf clubs and but little* interest in the game in the Sotfth When Mr. Smith became president of the S. (1. 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 nour ishing little organization, and of the new Nashville Golf and Country Club that is plannl.** a beautiful course on the historic Belle 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. Ci. 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 \\\ G. A. as director. Mr Smith plays a very good game of golf himself, although he learned it rather ’ate in life Some years ago he won the championship of the Na tional Freight Traffic Men's Associa tion.

Dec. 19.—That he told McGraw to iook for another in - I fielder for the 1914 season was the j statement made to-day by Art Siia- ’ fer. star utility m..n 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 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 rnind. 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, taking care of his estate." said Shafer .to-day. "I am out of baseball for- , ever w i "McGraw offered me a tempting j salary and every consideration possi- ' ble, but I just think in the long run ; it would be better for me to remain j In California.

Keeler. x x tHATEVER may happen to the \/V/ rest of th'e 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. * * * pOUNT CASTRO, the celebrated or- ator and suds-passer, is claiming a good deal of credit for the hooking of the Walsh family. •Pt’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 j 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 >\ho slipped Castro r he hunch, under the mpression that the i Count was going to operate a Visj- ! ginia League club in the coming sea- ! son. “Mike says they're a great pair." said 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 pep. Char- ley Grapewine thinks a lot of ’em, too. And those two birds are pretty w’sv when it comes to spotting a ball pla>- er." So Lou, feeling kindly disposed to i 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 I about the brothers, and Billy decided to take a chance. * * * “T 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 (’astro, you know. H**'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." * * * LJ LIRE'S a Stove League yarn about 1 A Long Larry McLean, the cele brated ex-bonded warehouse. It's an old one. dating back to t^e first year of the White Hope craze, at which time Larry was a member of the Seattle ball club, out on tha 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, and 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 bis 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 do." said Larry’s friend. “You just cal* 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 others down in front of him. i.nd dare him 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.. Dev. 19.
