Text | We were yesterday shown a sample of a baseball, with the stamp of a well known maker on it, weighing 6½ ounces, and measuring 10 inches in circumference. These balls, we understand, are made to order for country clubs, who depend more upon hard hitting for their success than upon their skill in the field. All we have to say is, that balls over size or weight render every game null and void in which they are used; and, moreover, it is discreditable to any ballmaker to manufacture a ball of the kind. We hope to learn that the name on the ball in question has been fraudulently used; if not, we shall feel called upon to expose the name of the party. |
