| Text | "The game [Stoolball] cropped up in 1656 in a pronouncement by the Counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland which said that "too much attention was being paid to 'shooting, playing at football, stoolball, wrestling.'" SRA website, accessed 4/11/07. Note: we need a fuller citation and perhaps further text and motivation for these pronouncements. |
