Barry, besides the benefit cricket games a strange base ball match was also played.
St. George's v. Base Ball
A strange mix of 18 cricket and base ball players against 9 baseballists...
Christopher Devine has a brief but funny account of the game involving little George Wright in his 'Harry Wright' book. Page 23.
