"Base-ball" was played at the midway point of a late afternoon and evening bike ride by the Y.M.C.A. Cycling Club of Portsmouth, Hampshire: "The party left Portsmouth at 3 p.m., and arrived at Bursledon Bridge at 5:15 p.m., where a halt was made for tea. Afterwards the members adjourned to a neighbouring field, where they indulged in a game of base-ball. At 7:30 p.m. the order was given to mount, and a smart run was made for home."
