A few quick thoughts since there have not been any replies. The first ball might be legit I am just looking at it on my phone so I can't see it too well. The second ball with Sisler needs to be checked to see if it's been traced over. The ball has lots of where in the areas that you can see the white and the signature is over those spots of wear. I'm assuming it's heavy shellacked from the color, and the signature has kind of that dull ink look to it that I have seen on other traceovers. The third ball looks like the president signature is stamped like it usually is in that location, it's on the east panel, right? I can't make out the name it may be a league president from a different division other than the National League. The 1909 patent info on it usually denotes it's a ball more from a little later, I don't think they added it until 1914 and it stayed with the 1909 patent date for around ten years. The fourth ball I can't make anything out though it may just be a trophy ball that someone wrote the score of the game on. Hope that helps a little maybe someone else can add some more thoughts for you.
