| Text | Mr. N. E.Young, of Washington, secretary of the National League, has been in town, the past week, inspecting the balls manufactured by Mr. L. H. Mann of this city for the use of all League clubs in championship games. He examined 80 dozen of the finest balls, he said, that ever came under his notice. They were in boxes, holding a dozen, and from five to ten in each box were weighed and carefully measured. Enough were cut in sections to show that they were properly made in every particular. Of the whole 960, not over half a dozen were rejected, and these were almost as good as the rest. Each ball was covered with foil and paper, put in a box by itself and securely sealed with a band, upon which was written the name of Mr. Young. This seal will not be broken until it is time for a game of ball to begin, and a deed of forgery will have to be committed in order to substitute any other ball for one which bears the name of the secretary of the League. Boston Herald March 25, 1877 Mr. N. E. Young, the indefatigable Secretary of the League, has been spending several days at the manufactory of the League balls in Boston. He has inspected, signed, sealed, and otherwise prepared for delivery nearly a thousand of the prescribed spheres, and reports the stock as being the best he has ever seen.
