Take it back!  A "indoor/outdoor" ball should not develop leaks 
from normal use, including rooling off the court.
I would expect a $35 ball to be high quality.

I too bought a wilson indoor/outdoor.  It doesn't leak,
but it doesn't feel nearly as good (ie like leather) 
as the Spaulding indoor/outdoor my friend bought.

I also bought a "Larry Bird" ball (made by Spaulding, i think)
for $13.95 which has *excellent* grip.  Now, if i can only learn
to shoot like Larry...
