OK, I am going to flip on my earlier agreement, I just looked more closely and I too think is says "blow(n) ball."

January 13, 1896 is an odd date for a game though. And page 9 of this book seems unrelated. I wonder if there was a story on page 9 of a newspaper on January 13, 1896 that described this play (or some other book/guide).
