| Text | Walsh, J. H. ("Stonehenge"), Manual of British Rural Sports [London, G. Routlege], per David Block, Baseball Before We Knew It, page 216. This book includes a description and diagram of rounders that Block characterizes as "generally consistent with other accounts of rounders and pre-1845 baseball." This version of the game used a pentagon-shaped infield and counterclockwise base running. |
