“Base ball” was one of the featured amusements made available to those attending the Berkhampstead and Chesham Temperance Societies Festival held in a large field near Chesham, Buckinghamshire. According to a local newspaper, “On arriving at the meadows, the usual out-door games, such as cricket, football, base ball, drop glove, French tag, and other games, including croquet, were resorted to by those who delight in such amusements.”
