| Data | A newspaper reported that “baseball” was among the games enjoyed by several hundred children at the annual treat of the Wesleyan Sunday School of Lewes, East Sussex, before a big storm sent them all to seek shelter. “The sun was now shining splendidly, and the sky gave no warning of the subsequent storm which so militated against the enjoyment of the young folk. The children were soon engaged in various games—cricket, baseball, stoolball, see-saw, &c. The weather had in the meanwhile, however, entirely changed. Black, ominous clouds filled the skies, and the children had scarcely finished tea before the threatened rain descended in torrents, and the little ones fled in all directions for shelter.” |
