Date	Sunday, February 2, 1879
Text	The Cincinnati Club used during last season about eight dozen regulation balls. This manufacture has grown to be one of considerable importance, and this year the contract for them has been given to A. G. Spalding & Brother, of Chicago. The balls required for the league games are forwarded in bulk to the Secretary of the League, who makes a separate examination of each by trying the circumference with calipers, weighing, inspecting the seams and quality of the cover, and cutting open one ball in each dozen to see that it is properly made. Spalding & Brother are having them made to order, in Philadelphia, but will probably have to give the work to L. Mahn, of Jamaica Plains, Mass., who has been recently sending circulars broadcast warning persons against making the double cover ball as he has a suit pending in the United Stated Court to protect his right in this specialty.
