| Data | “Pies ball” was one of the games played by youngsters attending the Sunday School connected to the United Methodist Free Church of Barnsley, a large town in South Yorkshire, at an afternoon celebration of the school's anniversary. The children were directed to a nearby cricket field, where, according to a newspaper report, “a plentiful supply of nuts and fruit was indiscriminately distributed among the scholars, and a number of games, including football, leap-frog, kiss-in-the-ring, and pies ball, were extensively indulged in.” |
