NATIONAL BRIEFING / AND FINALLY . . .

A Johnstown, N.Y., toddler still in diapers has a growing reputation as a pool shark with a mean bank shot -- even though he has to stand on a chair to reach the table.

Two-year-old Keith O’Dell Jr. has pool-shooting videos posted on YouTube, has his own website ( www.poolprodigy.com) and is the youngest member of the American Pool Assn.

The son of pool-playing parents, the toddler recently traveled to Las Vegas to put on a demonstration for the governing body of amateur pool.

Keith now plays on a regulation table. His parents say pool is teaching him colors and how to count.
