| Data | “Base ball” was among many activities enjoyed by youngsters attending the Children's Festival of the Co-Operative Society of Basingstoke, Hampshire. According to a newspaper account of the festivities, the large party proceeded by foot to the festival site where “arriving at the meadow the tent which had been erected for the disposal of minerals, cakes, sweets, etc., was stormed by thirsty children, and those waiting upon them had a very lively time of it. Games were indulged in for a time, such as cricket, base ball, etc., and there were swings erected for those who were thus inclined.” |
