Data

“Base-ball” was named as one of the pastimes enjoyed at the annual outdoor feast for students attending the National Sunday School in the village of Waltham, Lincolnshire: “From the church, the children marched with their many-coloured banners to the Rectory grounds, where they sat down under canvas to a well-provided tea . . . Tea over, groups were formed for various games, and cricket, jumping, base-ball, &c., were freely indulged in.”
