While on the tour east, the base-ball management purchased in Boston two dozen of Mahn’s balls, said to be “live,” but which have proven to be little better than “mush.” So long as these balls last, and they may last all summer, no other stock will be supplied; and still further, it is thought the home organization is afraid to face the heavy league nines with anything livelier. Hereafter, or so long as the “mush” balls are used, it is unfair to promise an audience a lively game.
