“Base ball” was one of the amusements played at the annual treat for children of the Church of England Temperance Society, Juvenile Branch, of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. According to a newspaper report, after a “sumptuous tea,” the girls went to a garden “where they enjoyed themselves much with bat-and-trap, croquet, and the usual games, while the boys adjourned to a meadow . . . and indulged in cricket, base ball, races, and other rustic sports.”
