I doubt that was really the official ball of the Western League. Omaha had a WL team throughout the years and the Russell Sporting Goods store probably just stamped them like that to sell to local kids and teams. I've seen lots of "off brand" baseballs stamped with "Official _______ League" and I doubt many of them actually were used in league games.
