-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the 
side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in
and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side 
that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out
and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and 
not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and 
when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out
and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and 
they decide when the men who are in are out. When both
sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been 
out twice after all the men have been in, including
those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
