Data

"Base ball" was remembered at a reunion of former students of the Norwich Free Grammar School who gathered to dine together and to recall their school days of 30 years earlier: "Here was the true English character exhibited, all the frost, and stiffness, and foolery of etiquette gave way before the good old English feeling of boyish reminiscences. Here met again the rival leaders in cricket, camp, hocky (sic), fives, or base ball."
