It is grossly abused when it is made the subject of publick advertisements to draw together great crowds of people who ought all of them to be somewhere else.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"The spanersion of cricket may be proper in holiday time, and in the country, but upon days when men ought to be busy, and in the neighbourhood of a great city, it is not only improper, but mischievous, to a high degree. It draws number of people from their employments to the ruins of their families . . . it gives the most open encouragement to gaming."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;British Champion,&lt;/u&gt; September 8, 1743.
