| Data | “Base-ball” was recommended as one of the games suitable for girls by the author of a handbook on rescue work directed at “missionaries, superintendents of homes, committees, clergy, and others.” Within his section on activities for girls, he wrote: “In summer-time it is well in the evenings, when circumstances favour it, to let them have games in the garden such as Base-ball, Oranges and Lemons, Tick, Puss in the Corner, Nuts in May, etc., after the work is done.” |
