Data

It was reported that "base ball" was one of the entertainments offered at the Annual Tea Meeting of the teachers and children of the Primitive Methodist Schools of Wycombe, Buckinghamshire: "The children, in procession, paraded the town at one o'clock, with flags and banners flying, bearing suitable mottos, and headed by the Saxe-horn Band, proceeded to the ground, where, after tea, amusements of foot and base ball, cricket, &c. were entered into."
