| Data | “Base ball” was listed as one of the activities enjoyed by youthful members of the Band of Hope of Newbury, Berkshire, at their annual open air festival. A newspaper reported that “The afternoon and evening of the day were spent in various field sports, amongst which cricket and other amusements and sports such as football, base ball, sliding and swinging, kiss-in-the-ring, &c., seemed to find plenty of votaries amongst the juveniles present, and throughout the day the meadow presented a continued scene of mirth and activity.” |
