That's actually the HOFer's autograph on the ball. I know of no other George Kell who played in the Majors.
It's interesting to note that both Evers and Kell started out 1954 with the Red Sox before being traded to other teams.
I haven't really examined this ball to offer any further insight. Sorry.
ETA: The pics are really small, but I saw Sid Hudson staring me down as I scrolled past just now. Another '54 BoSox member. And above him...again, the photo is minuscule, but the formation of the last name "Brown" is strongly reminiscent of Hal "Skinny" Brown, also with Boston that season. It has to be him, but those photos are so tiny.
