CHAMPIONSHIP AT DOUBLES 
The Amateur Championship of the South was won on April 1st at Birmingham, Ala., by 
MR. C. D. HUNT, of Columbus, Ga., 
who made the very excellent score of 42 out of 25 pair. In the same event Mr. Guy Ward 
tied for high professional with a score of 45 out of 25 pair. 
Both these gentlemen shot with a STEVENS Repeating Shotgun. 
There is hardly a week goes by that we don’t hear of some amateur or professional who is doing 
splendid shooting with one of these splendid guns. The Stevens Repeating Shotgun (a natural 
pointer) is the best gun in the world to improve your average. 
Have you ever held a Stevens up to your shoulder?

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
Not only Americans, but anglers of Great Britain and nearly every European State, 
South Africa, Australia, Canada, are making their fishing rods under the simple instruc¬ 
tions laid down by the author in this useful little manual. A Japanese, after reading the 
book took up rod repairing for his fellow countrymen as a business. An Englishman 
followed it in making several of the sixty-five rods that he has in his collection. A 
Russian appreciated the book so much that he suggested a Russian ti’anslation. The 
British sportsmen’s papers have quoted from it time and time again. In that country it 
has helped bring about a great change in rod types, and to attract attention to the ex¬ 
cellence of American fishing rods. In fact “Rodmaking for Beginners” has become the 
standard manual wherever fishing with rod and reel is practiced. 
The reason is obvious. The book is written in plain English, and all the details are 
set down so simply that a boy can follow them. All of the types of rods used on fresh 
and salt water are described and specifications given. Separate chapters cover all details, 
and the one on split cane rodmaking is the only comprehensive treatise on that subject 
ever published. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $1.00.
