"They were active ... at cricket and all games of ball; the prisoners base, hare and hounds, follow up leader, and more sports than I can think of."

Sources

Charles Dickens,  "The Child's Story" (1852).

Comment

"David Block's book Pastimes Lost cites Dickens mentioning games of ball in his letters"  reported Bruce Allardice, 3/24/2021.

Dickens did mention rounders in an 1849 letter to an acquaintance during a holiday at the Isle of Wight: "I . . . have had a great game of rounders every afternoon."  (Block, pp. 212 and 271.)

Block also notes a Dickens reference to people "playing at ball," but the site was apparently known as a racket ground, may not have have involved a baserunning game.
