Does this make sense?

Well, it makes sense if you mean, do I know what you are trying to say. If your underlying question is, "Is this a well-written sentence?" my answer would be, "I think it could be better."

For one thing, it could be read to mean that the ping pong ball has wondering eyes. Also, unless you are giving human characteristics to the ping pong ball (personification), characterizing it as "playful" is not really accurate. There might be a better way to say what you mean:

"I watched with wondering eyes as the ping pong ball flew playfully from one racket to another."

That way, you are describing the action of the ball as playful, rather than the ball itself. I don't think you really need "small" because everyone knows what size a ping pong ball is -- they only come in one size, to my knowledge.

Hope this helps!

In extenuation to the mob scene Scouts maturity in her obstinance to let perceive a decent upbringing of Boo Radleys's appearance and to disregard all prior notions of a melivelent and horrifying being grew even more.

No, I'm afraid the sentence does not really make sense. :-) My advice would be to simplify, simplify, simplify! Try shortening the sentence--make it two, if need be. Also, don't use a $10 word if a $1 word will do. Only use words like "extenuation" if you are sure that you are doing so correctly, and it is the very best word choice for that sentence. Try rewriting the sentence a bit simpler and then run it by me again. :-)
