NOTES:
 
   The Spalding No. 12-F.P. 12 inch circumference Official Playground ball was first issued along with the No. 14-F.P. 14 inch circumference ball in 1924. Both balls featured a Patent Applied for stamping. The inseam sewn horsehide cover also featured red and black stitching three-quarters around the center of the ball. By 1930 the bottom panel with the Spalding "tight stitch" baseball logo and specifications reads "12 inch, Pat. Nov. 4th. 1924."

 The 12 inch Playground balls were used as a form of indoor ball, (which lead to the game of softball) but used where there is a large playing space. It makes an ideal ball for general recreation purposes, where the players, on account of lack of experience or practice might not wish to use a hard ball. The 14 inch ball is used where the playing space is limited in size, as the ball cannot be batted very far.
