Text | [proceedings of the NAPBBP convention] On motion of Mr. Smith [of the Maryland Club], the Ryan ball was adopted as the regulation ball in all championship contests. This was an important motion, and it was fully discussed before its adoption. The strongest argument in its favor lay in the fact of its requiring all games to be played with a regularly authorized ball, instead of having continued disputes arising from one game being played with a lively ball and another with a dead one. Of course, the monopoly it gives to one maker is an objection, but it is questionable whether it will injuriously affect the interests of other ball-makers. |
