Data

“Base-ball” was the principal game played by students of the Rural Deanery of Hurstpierpoint gathered for their annual prize-giving celebration in the hamlet of Westmeston, East Sussex. A church service and several speeches preceded the awarding of prizes, followed by a substantial tea. According to a newspaper “after the tea had been heartily enjoyed, the children amused themselves (and the older persons present joined in the games) by base-ball, &c.”
