“Base ball” was played by men and women of several bicycling clubs from Portsmouth, Hampshire, who enjoyed a day's excursion to the village of Rowland Castle on the Hampshire-West Sussex border. “Altogether there could not have been fewer than 100 wheelmen at the village,” reported a newspaper, “and the place was en fete in the afternoon when base ball and other games were held on The Green.”
