| Data | “Ball bias” was one of the games played at a picnic and “gipsy party” organized by an unnamed grouping of 40 adults and children, and held in a park near Cuckfield, a village near the eastern border of West Sussex.The ladies in the group prepared tea, but, according to a newspaper report, “just as the beverage was being served a shower brought umbrellas, mantles and rugs in request; but they kept it up merrily at stoolball, trap, and ball bias, there being swings on the branches for the little ones.” |
