| Data | "Base ball" was among the games played at the annual fete for the benefit of the Literary Institute held in West Wycombe Park, Buckinghamshire. The newspaper reporter writing about the event was not impressed: "Except for a cricket match between the employees in Messrs. North's factory, West Wycombe, and Messrs. Hutchinson's, High Wycombe, in which the former were victorious, with five wickets to fall, and the usual rural games of base ball, swinging, kiss-in-the-ring, &c., there was nothing provided to attract visitors. The day also turned out showery, which kept many away." |
