Agreed, though that is what it seems to spell...

Looks like Lefty Gomez to me.

I don't see that this was answered, but above Connie Mack it says or appears to say
A.L. Stars
Honolulu T.H. /34

The T.H. being Territory of Hawai'i.

Thanks for this. Pretty sure the A.L. Stars is right along with T.H. /34 (which in an inscription I've seen elsewhere, so it fits.

Looking under a strong light I don't think the word is Honolulu though. Not sure though...

Pretty cool. I just got a message from a family member of Hans Pung who informed me that one of the signatures on the ball appears to be Charles En Sue Pung, the "old man of Hawaii baseball" as he described him.

Nice to be able to identify another name.

Chris, if you are on the boards here, thanks for the assist. I'd love to be in touch regarding this item and Hawaii baseball if you have any other information you don't mind sharing. Thanks!

The upside down signature above Babe Ruth appears to end in Akita, with the first name looking something like Dorothy.--Ed Smith
