The Toronto Telegram had the fel lowing reference to a Huron County native; "Mrs. Mary Elizabeth VanEgmonr Rudolph, granddaughter: of the late Colonel VanEgmond, who participat- ed with William Ly -on Mackenzie in the rebellion of 1837, died on Monday in her 80th year. She was born in Egmondville, Huron County, named after her grandfather, Colonel Van- Egmond helped build the first road from Hamburg to Gaderich, and dur- ing the rebellion held the Montgom- ery tavern, North Toronto, aeainst the Loyalists. After Cher marriage Mks. Rudolph went to the Southern States with her husband, where he was superintendent of a railroad. They returned to Egmondville, and after the death of her husband Mrs. Rudolph came to Toronto, She was a member of the Plymouth Breth• • and is survived by a -daughter, Miss Constance Rudolph, of tke Canadian National institute for the Blind,' ane who resides at 57 Hillsdale avenue." fESULT-;A 5-5 TIE Exeter softball team came to Clin- ton Tuesday evening and in a keenly contested game held the local boys to a 5-5 tie. This game was easily the best seen here this season and if the locals keep playing the same brand of ball they have a good chance to win group honours. .The locals had Gerald Holmes in the box for the first titue and he had the goods with him. He made the Exeter boys swing at good ones only to miss and made Tem like it. . Del Maltby was hack at his old place at second for his first gatae this sea- son and played in his usual form. Clinton led in the scoring up to the fifth innings, then Exete\ tied it up Clinton went into the lead again by making three runs in the seventh then Exeter came through with a run hi their half a f of the seventh and the score stood five -three until the first half of the eirtth innings, when Exe- ter got a man on base and 'choir bat- ter got a home run and tied the score. Clinton- tried hard to break the tie but couldn't manage it. Ar it was getting n too dark g g to la the play game was called without any over- time play to break the tie.
