Text | Judge Hartmann, President of the Mutual Club, claims to have discovered a substitute for India rubber in the manufacture of base balls. The substitute consists of a small piece of sturgeon’s back bone, one ounce of which is declared by the Judge to be more elastic than four ounces of ordinary rubber. The Judge has several of these in course of manufacture, and intends, it is said, to have them endorsed as the only regulation balls at the next meeting of the National Association. |
