The inscription seems fishy. As David mentioned, the Golden Jubilee was held in 1926. There was a ball produced for the event, it was a John Heydler NL ball like yours that had photos of the seven (?) league presidents to that point glued on the surface. They pop up on ebay every now and then.
The Matty inscription coupled with the date being altered doesn't bode well for it's authenticity.
