At, Sarnia on July 20 the All - Stars won 4-2 in a game in which tie Goderich girls got what they emsaidered a raw deal, and Monday night's overwhelming victory, de - Menet ting superiority in every department of the game, was ample revenge. The visitors were •promptly blunted in their first turn at bat, and the 'Dodgers then proceeded to run up a score of six runs on five hits. Hartlin's home run in ' the, sixth inning made it seven, and four more were added in the' eightb, Pearl Emmerton's circuit clout with two on base, accounting for three.

Win at Stratford On Friday evening .Dodgers went to Stratford for another ex- hibition with the Police Kadettes and won 6-4. The Dodgers have fixture with the Florence Chicks for August -42, the game to be played at Court - right, and one with the Gay Tops at Galt for August 14. Crowds for most sporting events in Goderich so far this summer haven't been too good, but there should be a radical change .from this unfortunate situation two weeks from tomorrow night. That's on August 20 when -Gus Mortson and his National Hockey League 11 -Stars are due here for a softball game in connection with the Gode- rich Kinsmen Club's trade fair. If ever theeew..a,s, a game that hould draw a banner crowd. this is it, for the Nlilers, who have been barnstorming throughout Ontario are rated as something really worth seeing. The All -Stars were originally captained by Walter "Turk" Broda (who still plays with the team) some five years ago. At that time, Brod'a's name was magic to the fans. He gathered some of the hoekeystars around him and start- ed playing games around Ontario for charity. None of the boys are in the game for any remuneration they may -get, but they -like the idea of being on a "team" for the summer and raising some money for charity. According to estim- ates, they ha- e helped raise close to $100.000 during the past five years. They're busy every week. Mortson took over the team this year, but the team remains virtual - Ty the same as before. The boys turn in a terrific game of softball, but they don't forget that part of their job is -entertainment So, they cut loose with some clowning every once in a while, usually at. The instigation of the old "Ttirkey." They're equally adept at baseball and Several of the All -Stars have played for the past several, years in the anintralhome and home baseball series' between Toronto Maple Leafs and 'the Montreal :Canadiens. The Kinsmen Club's idea to bring the All -Stars here certainly is a fine one. And the money raised through the game will help the club in its service work in Goderiche Already, the battery for the team to appose the All -Stars has been named. Russ -Johnson, hurler for the Port Elgin Pontiacs, and Alex McNeil, catcher for the same 5quad will handle battery chores, and George Westlake, who performed on defence for the local inter- mediate hockey team last winter will he in the lineup. Boussey and McLean. of Seaforth, have offered their services as umpires. Billy MacDonald. 18 -year-old Goderich boy, who was a starry right winger with the Semis Ponti- acs hockey team last winter, has signed with the OHA Senior "A" Owen Sound Mercurys. .He's due to reportifer training on September 15. - Billy, who is still of juvenile age, plays with the Goderich fast - ball nine and pitches baseball for the'All-Ontario championship Aub- urn team. He was a standout with the Pontiacs last winter and rumor had it that he was slated for junior ranks this .year. Speaking of rumors, there's one afoot right now that the Meaford Knights are after Teddy Williams to play centre on their hockey teal. According to reports, the Knights have been after Ted on three different oc- casions wanting- him to sign with them.

Ford) AYFIELD, Ont ----We know of no county in Ontrio, which had among its pioneers and early- Set - tiers so many picturesque and colorful figures as Huron. There was John Galt, the ScotchioVelist, who was, the commissioner of 'the Canada Land Co., which opened up the Huron Tract; there were the two Dunlops, Dr. W,illiam Dunlop, who was a fabulous charafkter and his brother, flbert. Agin' there were the two 1aron de TiiYis,fath- .of DafilcA:MI1,4Y . Von er arid, sohil were the fowl:Men Eginond, Wh5 u4t 4l fira road through ' the Hilton 'tract, joined the Mackezizj 1obe11iczi forcessl was captured afterlhe engagevent at Montgomery Hoti, nerth of Toronto, and died 'in prison. * * * All of these figures had some connection with Mafield, which next to Goderich is the oldest place in the county. Baron nde Tuyle, senior,' was a Belgian aristocrat, who like many others frometurop,e during the Napoleonic Wars sought refuge in England. He was at- tracted by advertisements for in- vestment in the/Huron Tract. He engaged a young naval officer, later Admiral Barfield, after whom Bayfield was named, to make a survey of the tract and recommend where best to make purchases. Bayfield cruised up and down the lake front—later he surveyed' and charted the whole lake shore—and suggested the purchase of land on the high ridge- opposite Goderich and also at Bayfield, which as a naval officer he felt had great pos- sibilities,'as a large port. He en- visioned a fort on the high ridge which is now known as Jowett's Grove. * * * De Tuyle accepted his recom-• inendations. He built a house on the Goderich ridge and purchased from the Canada Company most of the present site of Bayfield. Many of the pioneer settlers have' deeds signed by de Tuyle. The old baron did not live, long and his son in- herited the title and the property. Those were herd drinking, high living, dissolute days for the young. aristocrats of England and de Tuyle, junior, was no exception. He was a gayblade. He came to Canada and to Gode- rich with his bride to look over his new possessions. He became acquainted with Dr. Dunlop. They were scion drinking comPanigas and colleagues in many a wild prank and escapade. There is no evid- ence that de Tuyle ever lived in Bayfield, although when we first cameto this resort there was the basement of an old log house which was said to have been erected by de Tuyle. One of the streets of the proposed new city was named de Tuyle. d accompanied Napoleon on his fam- ous and disastrous march to Mos,, cow. At the Battle of Waterloo he was one of Blucher's aides. Von Egniond alway.s wore a cap and tradition has it that in some en- gagement both his ears had been cut off. The Napolo plc Wars over -he joined the migration to Amerca, settling in Pennnsylvania. He soon tired of farming. His land was , arid, an out -cropping of black rock Hater it proved to be coal. ,Many Dutch, and German settlers 'from -that state were moving to a new country in the North Upper ,Oan.ada. . Again he joined the migrants. Crossing the border he had stolen a picture of himself in military uni- form which has never been located and which. apparently he valued highly. His wife carried with her a silver tea service which is still in the family, presumably originally brought from Europe. The late Mrs. Ferguson, of Mayfield, a grand- daughter, or great-grandaughter of Von Egmond, had inherited the tea service. Last winter her husband' —the last of the Ferguson family in Bayfield—passed away. There were four Ferguson brothers, all Great Lakes sailrs. The tea set is now in the possession of his daughter, living in Ottawa. * * To make a long story Short, Von Egmond shortly after coming to Canada met John Galt and his righthand man, Dr. Dunlop. Ap- parently he had a little capital and he was given the contract for building the first.road through the virgin forest from Stratford to Goderich. He set up taverns along the way. He sowed the first crop ' in the Tract and the reaping of it was duly celebrated, when Dr. Dunlop along 'with Goderich com panions walked many miles through the bush to mark the event. There were many toasts. * Later Von Egmond quarreled with the Canada Co. He visited York, now Toronto, the capital, on a number of occasions in regard to his grievances, where he became acquainted withWilliam Lyon Mac- kenzie. When the rebellion .broke out Mackenzie sent for him. It is. doubtful if he had much idea '"as to what it was all about, but he had his own grievances and it was a call to arms, even if he was 70 years of age. He arrived late at Montgomery Hotel, the rallying place for the rebel froces. As he was .the only man with military knowledge Von Egmond was put in - charge. But the ill -trained, ill - armed_ farmers who had rallied to Mackenzie were speedily over - 8: * He was a sportsman—a hunter, a fisherman and a yachtsman. On one occasion he accompanied Hon. Hamilton Killally, of London, who was at the time commissioner of public works, on a salmon fishing expedition dOwn the St: Lawrence River as far as Tadousac. When he grew tiredof rough pioneer life in the Huron Tract he would visit York, now Toronto, and, even New York. He was a friend of Presi- dent Van Buren and 'according to tradition he died- at his New York State home. Dr. Dunlop must have often visit- ed Bayfield, probably with the Aaron. When the Rebellion broke ut, Dr. Dunlap, an old military officer, who fought with his regi- ment in the War of 1812, rallied" around him the loyal citizens of Goderieh. They were joined by all the able-bodied men of Bayfield and marched through the- wilder- ness, along what would be now the Blue Water. Highway to Sarnia, and later to Windsor to meet any in- vaders. They saw no fighting, but it was mithwinter and they must have suffered much hardship. * * Col. Von Egmond, who fought with Mackenzie in the' Rbellion, Was an amazing Dutch adventurer, a scion of a disting-uished Low Country family. He fought on both sides in the Napoleonic Wars and boasted he had been wounded' some 14 'tirees—all in front, He ' THURSDAY, AUGUST 5th, 1954 , MRS, WILLIAM STRAUGHAN • .r4.0,,,,,,,44,W; W. H.
