| Data | "Base-ball" was among the pastimes enjoyed by Sunday school students, teachers and friends of the Independent Chapel of Maidenhead, Berkshire, at their anniversary outing. A newspaper reported that tea and cake were served to the children who then "went to their amusements. The teachers and friends then sat down to a similar repast," and "having been done to their refreshments, they repaired to different parts of the field to join the children in their innocent pastimes, consisting of trap bat, cricket, foot-ball, base-ball, &c." |
