A score was originally a stick or piece of wood with notches cut in it from A. The tally varied from io to ioo notches; but, in reck- onings, twenty was the usual number. Hence, the score became synonymous with the recorded debt of so many pints of ale drunk. When chalk marks were substituted for the notches on the tally, each mark indicated a notch, and a line drawn diagonally made a tally, two tallies making a score.
