Data

Games, including “base ball” were enjoyed by children attending the Wesleyan Sunday School of Wolverton, Buckinghamshire, at a summer outing. A newspaper reported that “upwards of 200 children and 30 teachers sat down to as many good things as in 30 minutes satiated, and after, notwithstanding falling showers, every one had (by fatigue in running matches, foot ball, base ball, cricket, twos and threes, French tag, and other games) fully gratified their appetites.”
