E. RALPH GREENLEAF
 IS POOL CHAMPION
Wilmington Youth Has Clean
 Slate in Tourney at Phila.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13-E. Ralph Greenleaf of Wilmington, Del, won the pocket billiard championship of the United States last night by defeat 'ing Edward l. Ralph, Hightstown, N. J., 125 to 53, in the national Ameri- can pocket billiard tournament Greenleaf has one game to play, but even though he should lose this match he would still win the title. He has won eight straight.
 Jerome Keogh, Rochester, N. Y, de- feated James Mature, Denver, 125 to 70, in the first match last night Keogh's high run was 26 and Maturo's s IS. The match was completed in 23 innings.
 Ability to make shots almost the length of the table enabled Charles Seaback of Hartford, Conn, New England and Canadian pocket billiard champion, to win his final match in the tournament yesterday afternoon from Joseph Concannon of New York 125 to 54. Only one match was played at the matinee.
 Seaback showed remarkable skill in

picking off the long shots Regardless of the position of the cue ball follow ing Concannon' run of ten in the sec ond inning, Seaback came right back With seven and got twelve in his next try. After that it was all Sea back. He was leading 51 to 33 at the end of the tenth inning, 66 to 38 at the end of the fourteenth, and getting the balls rolling nicely in the eigh- teenth inning made a splendid run of 34, which gave him an advantage of 104 to 2S. JIc went out with an unfini&hed run CT eleve;..
 Only enc forfeit was made in tho match Sea back calling t in the twen- tieth inning
 Seaback's victory and Concannon's setback caused a triple tie for fourth place, Kruter, the young New Yorker also figuring in it. Each player has won five and lost four with no more matches to play.
 As there is third place money of $750 and $450 for fourth 1t IS more than likely that the trio will divide the
