After his expulsion from professional baseball, he embarked on barnstorming tours and competed in outlaw leagues for several years. He also had a short stint with a team in New Mexico. Unfortunately, Williams reportedly developed a heavy drinking habit. It was said that his between-inning "nips" contributed to his reputation as a formidable pitcher, intimidating opposing batters.
