Data

“Pise-ball” was mentioned in a letter written by an 11-year-old girl from Earlsheaton, West Yorkshire, that appeared in a Leeds newspaper column entitled “The Children's Corner,” the letter apparently having been submitted as part of some sort of contest. “ Went to a farmhouse to our teas, it was out of the park, and we saw a lot of flowers and a peacock, and it got to the top of the house. We played at rings and pise ball, we went in a waggonette, and we saw a man's and a woman's head made of stone.”
