Word From Corp. Stern
I'm at Walter Reed hospital is a
fast sandboat outfit managed by
Corp. Alfred Louis Stern, who used
to write sports in Washington be-
fore donning the khaki of the med
ical corps. Corporal Stern hands this:
Say, putting my name in that di-
rectory is flooding me with letters
from everywhere. Why. do you know
L got one from Chicago. a sporting
goods house out there wanted to
sell me a lot of uniforms. Guess
Walter Reed won't have much trou-
ble arranging games this summer"
Joe Boehling, who used to twirl
for the Washington and Cleveland
clubs in the big show, writes ask
ing that his team be added to the
sandlot directory.
we have collected a fast inde-
pendent club composed mostly of
professionals writes Joe, whose
leagues have suspended this season.
We trimmed Ed Klepfers Camp Lee
team last week, and have some very
good clubs on our schedule. Wish
you would let Washington know that
we want games for Saturdays here
or Sundays in Washington"
Boehling's team is known as the
Richmond Battle Axes.

No sport in Pennsylvania is more
popular than trapshooting and live
bird contests. Breaking targets
thrown from traps, however, leads
the livebird matches. The latter are
slowly passing out, there being some
feeling against this sport. The pop
ularity of trapshooting in Pennsyl-
vania is due n whole lot to the eff
forts of Harrisburg shooters. Men
pictured above, a number of whom
have died, were real factors in max
ing shooting famous in Pennsylvania.
They won and held a number of
championships, and were the origi-
nators of the Pennsylvania Sports
mems Association, one of the strong
est and most influential organiza-
tions of the kind in the United
States.
Back in the SOS a number of
shooters held contests in Hoffman's
Woods, at fields in Seneca street, on
North Third and Sixth streets, and
at Island Park, then largest Island.
Later an organization was affected
and known as the West End Shoot
ing Association. During the year
1889, the name was changed to the

The Art of Checkering
Gun and Rifle Stocks

Many sportsmen find it an interest
ing and pleasant experience to take
one of their favorite rifles or shot
guns and improve it's appearance by
checkering the stock or forearm.
This is an art in itself and the
amateur will find that experience is
the best teacher. A good plan to
follow in making the first experime ent
is to take q block of walnut with a
polished or smooth surface and draw
two lines diagonal to each other.
The shape OF the diamond produced
by the checkering is dependent upon
the angle formed by these first two
lines.
A hand tracing tool with three
parallel scraping surfaces is then
used, starting on the diagonal lines.
This tracing tool simply marks the
lines for filing, after the surface of
the stock is still fiat but marked with
the parallel lines, crossing each other
diagonally.
These lines serve as guides and
the stock is then filed up with q
small hand triangular file cutting
into the wood to shape up the small
diamonds, and the stock is after
WdTu EOne over lllldtly with Ill6
to perfect the shape of the dia-
monds and raise the small points at
the top of each diamond.
After this is done a border may
be put on with a small hand tool
with two parallel cutters. These
serve to give a finished appearance
to the checkering.
Ordinarily the process of check
ering the stocks and forearms of
factory-produced guns is all hand
work and done by skilled help. AL
though of course not an unusual
operation, it requires ordinarily six
or eight months time to learn; in
fact. some operatives are never
successful in mastering the trick.
The amateur, however. will derive
much satisfaction from the expert
ence of checkering his own guns
and by exercising a little care and
patience will be agreeably surprised
with the results of his isan6iwork.

Ask Territorial Rights
For Team in New York

New York, April 11.-Formal ap-
plication to the New York National
League club to waive its territorial
baseball rights in this city in favor
of a team which would represent
the Bronx in the newly
International League was made to
Harry N. Hampstead, president OF
the New York team, by committee
of citizens headed by Cyrus p. Mil
Ter, former president of the Bronx
President Hampstead referred the
delegation to the American and Ma
tional Leagues, saying the question
was one for them and not the Giants
to decide. He declined to indicate his
own attitude toward the plan, which,
to be carried out successfully, would
require also waivers by the New
York Americans.
