If a load of wheat weighs 3942 lbs., what is it worth at 50 cts./ bushel, deducting 1050 lbs. for tare?

I don't even think this is written in English.

FIELDER'S CHOICE is the act of a fielder who handles a fair grounder and, instead of
throwing to first base to put out the batter runner, throws to another base in an attempt to
put out a preceding runner.

Click below and check what they have written about the validity of the 1895 test document.

Natch! (I agree that knowing 6 things that you wear on your feet that starts with an "s" is much more relevant than being able to figure the cost per ton of coal!)
