Williams Has Not Signed His
Contract With The Nationals

Thus spoke Williams when asked about
the matter last night.
Manager Grifith, when seen. admitted
that this was true. and added with q
smile that he thought Williams would
sign his contract in a few days, and that
the matter would be easily adjusted.
ITO tell the truth" added Grin. Il
have been SO busy the past week that
have had no time to talk with Will
Jams about his contract We probaUy
will settle the thing In my office Tuesday
morning"
Just how much of a boost over the
figures on his 1912 contract Williams
wants is not known. but he intimated
that, to his way of thinking. the Wash
ington club would have to come across
with a tidy sum.
Griff has always enjoyed the reputation
of being square as a die with his men.
He never would start a season with n
dissatisfied player on his hands; SO the
chances are that he and Williams VII
easily come to terms. most likely to-
day.

club his best services.
