USE 10000
BALLS A YEAR

Twenty thousand balls are used an
nually by the major league clubs dur
ing the training trips and champion
ship campaigns. John Anold Heydler
secretary treasurer OF the National
league reports that last year the teams
in his organization called for 500 dozen
spheres. The Cincinnati Reds used the
most balls, and then came the Pitts
burg Pirates. the Chicago Cubs, the
New York Giants. the Philhes, the
Boston Doves, the Brooklyn Superbas
and the st. Louis Cardinals. The
watchdog of the National league treas
ury will not tell what price the clubs
pay for the official balls but Charles
d. White one OF A. G. Spalding Bros.
ambassadors intimates that persons
who guess that a major league club
spends about $1,000 a year for spheres
are not far out OF the way. Each ball.
therefore costs probably so cents. The
price Of the spheres varies from year
