know the score -1929

[Sam Clements]

Wall Street Journal from 1929.  An advertisment for a sale of men's
overcoats.

>>We've not forgoten you!  Our Overcoat Sale still has unusual values for
you, even if you did miss the first two days.  7820 Men's Overcoats started
it!  Don't know the score right now, but here are the orginal opportunites:
36 7 were $125, ....<snip>

how an ad copyrighter used the phrase--keeping score, as if in a game.

At least, that's my reading of it.
