Pre war baseball

Well 4 or 5 names are from 1935 Era. One is a pitcher from 1890 and the other 4 or 5 I can't find so it's not a team ball. Nobody else who has seen the ball think it's the same hand not sure why you do.

The style of handwriting, size and placement of the signatures, and 45+ years of collecting sports memorabilia and autographs tell me that this ball was penned by a kid.

One of the signatures on the ball looks like “ JoJo White”. The baseball player Joyner White played for Detroit in the 1930s but he spelled his name . There are samples of his signature on eBay.
