| Data | “Base ball” was one of the amusements offered at a church treat given to students of the Day and Sunday Schools of St. Mary's, Princes Risborough, to the junior members of the choir, and to those in attendance at the Longwick National Schools, all situated in Buckinghamshire: “After tea, cricket, base ball, rounders, races, jumping, scrambles, &c., were held, affording considerable amusement, not only to the children but to the large number of neighbouring residents and parents of the scholars who were now present.” |
