Griff Off for Charlottesville.

1t IS expected that by tonight Manager
Griffith will have completed all arrange
ments for lodging his baseball family in
charlottesville next March. The Ma
tionals boss leaves this morning on an
early train and hopes to complete his
business in time to return home tonight.
Griff's idea, as has been stated before, is
tc again rent big house for his players
to be used entirely for sleeping rooms
with reception hall or parlor where the
men can lounge about. He wants to
have the meals served in another house
as near the lodging quarters as possible.
1t is understood that real estate dealers
IN Charlottesville have submitted severa
propositions, and he probably will make
his selection to-day.
Although the sleeping rooms for the
Nationals last year were not very eIab-
crate, the beds were comfortable enough
and no complaints were heard. as the
players were usually so tired when Griff
sounded taps they could have slept on
a barn floor.

Billiard Fan Wants TO Know.

Rockville, Nd, Dec 20. 1872.
Sporting Editor Washington Herald-Sir;
In your edition of Thursday. December 10.
1872, commenting on and giving the par
ticulars Of the game between Swan and
Kelchner "wednesday night in the Royal
pocket billiard tournament, you said in
part: The features OF the game were
Swans ability to extricate himself from
difficult positions and Kelchner's three
cushion bank shot, which was a gem A
wager of 20 to 5 has been made that
Kelchner's bank shot Is known in pool
or pocket billiards as a three-cushion
bank. We rely on your judgment to de-
eide the bet. Kindly publish in pink
sheet Sunday. Many thanks S. 3.
Answer-The shot you refer to was a
two-cushion bank, or what is commonly
known in pocket billiards as bank shot.
Kelchner had a horse shoe in his left
hind pocket when he made it.

Takes Good Game in the Royal
Pocket Billiard
Tournament.

Charles Bartelmes won from George
Kelchner in the pocket billiard tourney
at the Royal Billiard ParIor last night
by the score of 100 to 90.
In the fourteenth frame the score was
90 to 80 in favor of Bartelmes. Kelchner
had the opening in the fifteenth frame
and made two balls and played them safe,
but Bartelmes picked out a combination
and made it, scattering the bunch so
that the seven balls needed were easy
Bartelmes' victory ties him with Swan
for first prize, each having won four
straight and lost none. The deciding
game between those two players will be
played next Tuesday night and should
be a grand contest Kelchner takes third
prize. The standing:

WILLIAMS BATTING AVERAGE.


Unless Griff changes his mind and
decides to let out young Errol Will
iams to some minor league club be-
fore the time comes for reporting in
Charlottesville, George Mcbride may
have capable understudy during the
1913 season.
Williams was discovered bv Scout
Mike Kahoe, while the latter was
securing the bushes last summer, and
upon the advice of the Nationals scout.
Griff put in a draft for the youngster
and he was awarded to Washington.
The Ohio State League split up its
season into two periods, Williams COW
ering second base and shortstop for the
Newark club and hit well over roo
during the first period, but fell down
later. The fielding averages of the
youngster were not obtainable, but The
Washington Herald's Newark, Ohio.
correspondent writes that these figures
hardly would make good reading, for
the reason that Williams had habit
OF going after everything that came
within a mile of him, and that the
league scorers insisted upon handing
hIm errors on nearly every occasion.
Williams is twenty years old; last sea-
son was his second in organized baseball,
lie was easily the best-looking infieIder
IN the Ohio State League. He bats and
throws right handed and is naturally a
vicious hitter. He also is fast on the
bases and has a fine throwing arm.
The fact that Williams is ambitious and
speedy is sure to make a hit with Nap-
ager Griffith, who will give him every
chance to show his worth The former
Newark star in all probability will be
Sroomed for George McBride's job, and

will try out, both having played shortstou
