HAS THE FIRST
BASEBALL USED
Bert EverSOn POSSeSSOr Of
the Sphere Used in Play
ing Night Games

Although it is not generally known
Bert Everson, the veteran ball pitcher
who in his palmy days was one Of the
Cracker jacks" in the business, has
in his possession the original ball which
was used in the first night game Of
baseball played in this OF any other
country.
The ball, which is 12 inches in cir
cumference, is Of the regulation ma
terial, this being necessary in order
TO prevent players who might be
struck with the sphere from being in .
jured. When handled the ball ap-
pears 10 be much lighter than the
baseball OF today but when placed upon
the scales Is found to weigh the
standard.
The first game OF night baseball was
played during the latter part Of the
season of 1891 on the Twelfth street
grounds, Chester, Pa, and was be-
tween the Chester team and the Pitts
burg Athletic Club. The initial game
was scheduled to be played between
the Wilmington baseball team and
Chester but on the night of the pro
posed game the electric lights faiiod
to work satisfactorily and the game
was called Off. On the day following
the Pittsburg Athletic Club was IN
Chester for three games. and a night
game was arranged between the Ches-
ter Club and the Pittsburgers In this
game Bert handled the horse hide anu
defeated his opponents 16 to 9. Around
the field were arranged eight power

agreed between the teams not to hit
the ball out OF the inheld but the
Pittsburg players could not Withstand
the temptation Of "swatting" II and
the result was that Chester got in the
game along this line and a sluggine
match was indulged IN by both team s.
The second game was played in Har-
risburg between Harrisburg and Ches-
ter and was won by Chester. On this
day Everson pitched three games, the
first in the morning, the second in the
afternoon and the third at night. Ches-
ter winning all three. The third game
was played In York by Chester an
the Chesterites again won.
Bert states that he was able to curve
the big soft ball as easily as he car
curve the regulation size BAH Of to-
day and that IL was as necessary q
have the ball of regulation weight In
order that a pitcher might not throw
his arm out. The ball is on exhibi

that w. G. Earle, jeweler, would give

One morning paper to-day displays a dispatch

maintenance of equality of commercial rights
