Data

“Base ball” was among the amusements enjoyed by children attending the Church Schools Festival in the town of St. Neots, Cambridgeshire. A newspaper reported that “after partaking of tea, etc., the youngsters dispersed themselves over the grounds, where every provision had been made for their enjoyment in the shape of swings, base ball, &c., which were patronized with the utmost zest.”
