are manufactured every year. It is net-

balls turned out are of the cheaper
grades that sell for from boosts up to 25
cents each. The cheap balls are made by
machinery. except the stitching of the
seams. which is done by hand.

The better grades of balls are made al-
together by hand. The best balls, those
used by the players of the league. contain
a small core of rubber which forms the
center. Yarn is wound tightly round
the rubber core until the ball is of
