| Data | A reference to “baseball” appeared in a prize essay entitled “Value of Open-Air Games” that was written by Alice West, age 13, of the Iford and Kingston School near Lewes, East Sussex, and that was published in the “Our Little Contributors” column in a local newspaper. One passage read: “Most people, especially children, like to play games, such as football, hockey, cricket and tennis, which are all healthy games. The most favourite game among boys at our school is the game of hockey or soldiers. Our governess and teacher tell us how important health is, for there is nothing more dearer (sic) than our lives. Skipping, baseball, hoops, rounders, fox and hounds, and rings, are the usual games for the girls.” |
