Data

“Base ball” was among the recreational choices for students of the United Free Methodist Church Sunday School in the Hampshire village of King's Somborne at their annual summer outing. According to a newspaper report, the children traveled on wagons to a nearby park. “After alighting, the children soon made themselves at home, and games of almost every description were indulged in. Some went for the swings . . ., while others preferred cricket, base ball, &c.”
