A newspaper reported that “base-ball” was one of the games played at the annual treat for students of the Wesleyan Sunday in the town of Buckingham, Buckinghamshire. After singing hymns at the school the students proceeded to a field adjoining a nearby stately home. According the paper, “on reaching the field the procession broke up, and games were at once entered into, including cricket, base-ball, French tag, and many others too numerous to mention.”
