| Data | "Base-ball" was one of a number of amusements enjoyed at the "scholars' annual treat" of the Robertson Street Congregational Church Sunday School of Hastings, East Sussex, which consisted of a train excursion of hundreds of children to Rye, East Sussex: "The children were soon quite at home, and passed away the time in the manner usual to school treats. Boys indulged in cricket and black-rabbit, shot arrows with bows at distant targets, and kicked a football round the fields. Girls played at lawn tennis, shuttlecock, base-ball, double-tag, and kiss-in-the-ring, and other delightful amusements. Those who did not indulge roamed about the place and watched those who did." |
