[in Answers to Correspondents] Two sides are about to play a game of base ball, 21 tallies the game, and they toss up a copper for first innings, the party winning the toss score 21 points the first innings. Does that finish the game, or must the other side go on with their innings? … When one side scores 21 inn their first innings, and the opposite score nothing in their innings, of course that ends the game; but the last party must play their innings, because they may score as many as their opponents, and thus make a tie of it.
