Eut Instead, Cowhide is Generally Used For Outside Cover. Few members of the football eleven who buy a football h'ave probably ! ! ever given any thought to how the balls are made or the amount of labor and skill required in putting them to gether. A prominent manufacturer describes the process, and it will he | interesting to note how many sur prise he will cause among those who have been accustomed to Calling the ; bail a “pigskin. “The leather used is split cowhide. ; Ordinary cowhide is too thick for the ; regulation weightT so it has to be split into two parts. The outer or hair side is what the best balls are made with. Previous to splitting the leather has been soaked in the tan pits for ten or twelve months. Some •m’akers cure their hides in six weeks by ‘faking’ with chemicals, but leather so treated won’t make a good ball. “The ‘split’ hide is well softened with dubbin, and then passed on to the cutter, who cuts out tne various sections, which, when sewn together, make a perfect ball. The method of doing this is kept a secret by most makers, but I don’t mind telling you that tin plates the exact size of the sections required are used in many factories. All the cutter has to do is to place one of these on the leather and cut out the shape with a sharp knife. These shapes are taken in hand by expert sewers, and soon the outer cover is ready for the bladder. “This is made of the best Para rub ber, 'and involves even more care in its construction than the leather cover Itself. It is of immense strength, and is an expensive item, representing nearly half the cost of manufacture. The next operation is the inflation of the ball. This is done in a second by machinery, and then the ball is laced up. However, even yet it is not com plete, for ft still has to pass through the hands of the shaper, who pats down any inequalities in the seams or contour of the ball. It now stands the finished article, ready to afford exer cise and amusement to the thousands of players and spectators who an nually follow the great winter pas time. GOOD ADVICE.
