Data

“Baseball” was one of the amusements enjoyed by children attending the Sunday School connected to the All Saints Church of Fleet, a town in eastern Hampshire, at their annual summer outing to nearby Odiham Woods. A newspaper reported that “on arrival all were regaled with refreshments, after which they soon dispersed, some to find enjoyment in the various glades and shady nooks so abundant there, some to enjoy a game of cricket, some to the swings which had been quickly fastened up, while games of baseball &c., were indulged in by others.”
