| Data | The name “pie-ball” was mentioned in a traveller's journal that was serialized in a Leeds, West Yorkshire, newspaper. The writer described his stay at an inn in the Swiss Alps where he was reading through the guest book and coming across the names of friends of his who had stayed there previously. “Here is the well-known handwriting of Jack my old schoolfellow, who has become famous since we played together at pie-ball and prisoner's base.” |
