| Data | “Base ball” was one of several games, including rounders, that were enjoyed by some 460 children of the Buckingham (Buckinghamshire) National Schools at their annual treat and holiday, held in a nearby meadow. After a church service, according to a newspaper report, “the joyous juveniles made their way to the meadows and, in about as little time as it takes to place the fact on record, the children commenced to amuse themselves in a selection of games, including cricket, trap and base ball, rounders, &c., while the merry-go-round of horses and carriages . . . specially engaged for the day, tickled the fancies, and caused the eyes of hundreds of youngsters to sparkle with pleasure.” |
