wealth has almost column devoted
to scoring our Tournament. Among
other things it says: Among others
who threw up their hands and con-
fessed that he was blooming sucker
for being SO easily ensnared, is Ben
Teipel, of this city, winner of the
worlds Championship Diamond
Badge at New Orleans, in 49,"
In 'S6 Ben Teipel was considered a
fine shot. Maud S. at that time was
also the queen of the turf; but both
are in the background now.
Ben Teipel came up from Coving-
ton expecting to catch suckers, and
instead OF shooting against local
Montgomery county shots, he run
into company entirely to fast for him,
and he kicks like steer. Such shots
as Heikes, Elliott, Young, Sanford,
Gay, Ruble, Stephens and several other
crack shots who met at our Tourna-
ment, were entirely too fast for Ben
Teipel. Ben's character is well
enough known in this section of the
country, as his operating shooting

nothing more. Below we give list
of the shoots he took part in, which
will explain why he came out behind
