| Data | “Touch ball” was mentioned in a letter to the editor of a Barnsley (South Yorkshire) newspaper in which the writer was defending his position upholding religious singing in Sunday schools. “A Sunday-school . . . is a fitting place of psalm and hymn singing. I would as soon think of mixing mustard for dinner in a place of worship, during service, as I would bring the religious exercise of singing into a gala-park or playground, amongst young persons whose thoughts and intentions are on cricket, touch ball, terzy, &c.” |
