Data

"Base ball" was played at an annual outing to a country hotel by staff members of several newspapers from Burnley and other towns in Lancashire, as well as some from West Yorkshire: "Some wandered along the banks of the Ribble and Calder, other patronised the bowling green, while the remainder disported themselves in a variety of games--including football, cricket, and base ball--in a field kindly placed at their disposal by the host and hostess."
