The available sources for this seem to be 21st century internet sites, which lack citations of any publications from Stahl's era that use the term "jaking it" with a clear reference to Stahl. This seems apocryphal to me, but perhaps somebody on this board has found it in the archives of the Boston Post or some other likely source.
