The first softball was a wrapped up boxing glove and the bat was a broom. Play was encouraged by a reporter, <a href="/wiki/George_Hancock_(softball)" title="George Hancock (softball)">George Hancock</a>, who had been looking on. Harvard and Yale students played the game while waiting to hear the results of the annual <a href="/wiki/Harvard-Yale_football_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Harvard-Yale football game">Harvard-Yale football game</a>. </p><p>Until the turn of the 20th century, ball sizes ranged from 12 to 17 inches in circumference. The 16-inch softball was eventually adopted in Chicago, perhaps because it did not travel as far as the popular 12- or 14-inch balls. This also may have allowed for play on smaller <a href="/wiki/Playground" title="Playground">playgrounds</a> or even indoors, accommodating the Chicago landscape and climate. Another possible advantage of the 16-inch ball was that it allowed everyone to play barehanded, and gloves were a rare luxury as the <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a> hit Chicago particularly hard. </p><p>After the first national championship held in 1933 at the <a href="/wiki/Century_of_Progress" title="Century of Progress">Century of Progress World's Fair</a>, the sport grew in popularity. A professional league was formed that lasted through the 1950s. Teams drew crowds of over 10,000 each night. Leagues continue today but not at the same level of popularity.
