Default vintage baseball equipment

The piece that is missing is about 1" of leather, but it is more like a loop of the eight than a single stitched piece. It's hard to tell what's inside, since, even though the leather has come off in that area, there is no open space to the inside. It's hard enough that it could still be used as a ball today, but it does have a little bit of give to the touch. Is it possible that it's a combination of cloth and twine/yarn?
