"Base-ball" was mentioned in a newspaper report of the Baptist Sabbath School's anniversary celebration in Newbury, Berkshire: "The children were highly amused by playing at cricket, base-ball, &c.; tea and cake were provided for them in one of the barns, which was very prettily decorated with flowers and evergreens."
