Data | A "game of base ball" was identified in a newspaper account as one of the events competed for at a swimming fete held at the Dewsbury Corporation Baths in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. Little more was written about it except to provide the name of the winner (an individual), and to describe it as "a game of base ball in the water." |

Block Notes | The precise nature of this "base ball" is far from clear, especially given that the winner was identified as an individual and not a team. |
