[Allegheny vs. Cincinnati 6/25/1883] ...when Umpire Kelly opened Jimmy Williams’ prize package, he drew out a “mush” ball. That fact became apparent before an inning was played. It is a peculiarity of the Reach ball that it is in the nature of a lottery ticket–one doesn’t know how much it is worth till the drawing comes off.
