A newspaper reported that "base ball" was played on an excursion to Netley, Hampshire, by 170 students, parents and friends of the British School in Basingstoke: "Having rested and partaken of their dinners, the children proceeded with their sports--the girls to croquet, base ball, &c., and the boys to cricket and other games usual on such occasions."
