Facts About the Cork Center Ball

the ball with considerably less tension
than it should have been wound in or
der to make a perfectly constructed
ball; not being wound with sufficient
tension to make It scientifically cor
rect. there was not sufficient support,
either for the rubber center or the
strands of yarn, when the ball was be-
ing subjected to the strain of the i'm
pact of the bat. The result was, the
center split and the strands of yarn
broke.
Exhaustive experimenting showed
that If the ball were wound sufficiently
tight, the additional yarn used in bring
ing it up to its correct size made the
ball considerably over weight; hence
some other plan of improving the con-
necessary.
Much time and money were spent in
an endeavor to bring out an improve
ment, with the result of the invention
of the cork center.
BY using small sphere OF cork and
covering the same with nodded pure
rubber cover a lighter center is obtain
ed of the requisite size, thus permit
ting the ball to be wound with its yarn
at much higher tension,
and when the proper size of the finish
ed ball is reached it is tight enough to
produce the correct weight and the cor
rect size and give the added strength,
SO that in meeting the impact Of the
bat the strands of yarn do not give
way and continual batting does not
affect the ball In the loss of resiliency
or the loss of it's shape.

The Base Ball Journal has receiv ed
"a great many letters of inquiry from
baseball players, managers and spec

the cork center, and in order to give

CATION, covering a considerable period,
has been conducted, with the view of
ascertaining whether or not this new
cork center is an improvement or 9TH
erwise in tn playing league ball.
1t is a well known fact that in late
years the league ball, made with a
pure rubber center, in many instan ces
would become lopsided or soft after be-
ing used a while, and when such balls
were cut open it was found that the
rubber center. had split. This permit
ted the strands of yarn to break oft
times clear to the surface of the ball;
such balls being unplayable and hav-

not split of become mushy, made with
the pure rubber center, ball after be-
ing used for several innings. lost con
siderable amount of its resiliency and
was not susceptible of being batted as
well as a new ball.
AS baseball grew and developed and
more balls were used the complaints
increased correspondingIy; the manu-
facturers were confronted with the
serious problem of overcoming this
difficulty.
To manufacture a ball with the pure
rubber center and keep the ball within
the stipulated weight and size of the
official rules it was necessary to wind
