He arrived in Canada in 1890 and enrolled in Law at Manitoba College (later the University of Manitoba). He was a law student with Munsen & Allan, and a lecturer in classics at Manitoba College (1896-1897). Ball taught school near Qu'Appelle, Assiniboia (later Saskatchewan, 1897); was principal of Maple Creek School (1898-1901); and was principal at Moose Jaw (1901-1903). In 1903 Ball was appointed inspector of schools with headquarters at Yorkton. Further appointments included assistant principal of Regina Normal School (1911); Saskatchewan Deputy Minister of Education (1912), and provincial commissioner of the Canadian Boy Scouts (1915). Ball served his country during World War I with the 249th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, enlisting in 1916 in Regina. He returned as Lieutenant in 1918. Ball organized Schools' Patriotic Fund; Belgian Relief Fund for Children and Schools’ Red Cross Fund. He was decorated in 1921 with the Order of the Silver Wolf for services to the Boy Scout movement.
