| Data | A newspaper reported that “base ball” was among the amusements enjoyed by students of the British School of Reading, Berkshire, on their annual outing, with this year's destination being the grounds of Netley Abbey on the south coast of Hampshire near Southampton. After a train journey, the children “marched to the Abbey, and having explored the ruins there proceeded to the grounds where cricket, football, running, jumping, base ball, and various other games amused them until time for tea.” |
