Cambridge High School Defeats
Strong Easton Team.

A very interesting game of base
ball was played yesterday afternoon
at the new Athletic Park between
the Cambridge High School team
and what was said to have been the
First Team of Easton. The game
was full of good plays, two home
runs being made, one by Ruark and
one by Wall. Phillips, for Cam
bridge, pitched an excellent game.
striking out fourteen of the Easton
players, and allowing but one hit.
The High School team will play
the Hurlock High School team to-
morrow afternoon. This is certain
to be one of the best games Of the
season, as Hurlock has not yet been
defeated this season, having beat
Cambridge last Saturday by the
score of 5 to 1. Cambridge will
put forth its best efforts tomorrow
to capture the game.

HuP|ock, S; Cambridge, |.

On Saturday, May 81, the Cam
bridge High School base ball team
journeyed to Hurlock to play the
High School team of that place,a
met with their first defeat of the
season, the score being to /, in
favor of the Hurlock boys. Wall
was on the slab for Cambridge, and
pitched very creditable game
Hurlock made four runs in the first
inning and one in the second, after
which they were not able to score
again. In the first inning it looked
as if Cambridge had fine chance
to win, as they had the bases full
and only one man out, but as Rus
sell and Lake, the next men to the
bat, famed, the side was retired
without any runs being scored.
After the first inning, the game
was one of the prettiest that has
been played this season, only two
runs being made, one by each OF
the teams. Inning after inning the
two sides went to the bat only to
be retired without runs.
The score was as follows:

Rock Island Gll) Times, 1th.

Rock Island Gll) Times, 1th.
A document bearing the date Of 1I9S
ana said to have been written by King
George II, Of England, was received
al the Wertz family reunion by "Uncle
Eilly" Wertz, of Newberry, South Car
olina, this afternoon. The paper is
hailed as proof Of the grant of 2oO
acres of land to Hans Jacob Werts in
Holland.
The paper is yellowed with age and
parts of it can not be read. The sig
nature of the king of England may be
distinctly read, however, together with
the more important parts of the docu-
nent. With this came the deed.
Addressing 200 members OF the
Wertz family in session at the Harper
house, Mrs. Estelle Ryan Snyder this
afternoon gave the family history and
its claims to the Wertz millions. Mrs.
Snyder said in part:
tsWhether we ever receive any of
the millions of dollars that are said
to be held by the Holland government
across the seas, is a question / can not
answer, but l do claim that without a
doubt our gathering of this great
family conclave will surely bear good
fruit. I trust we shall all depart to
our homes after delightful visit to-
gether, imbued with the determination
to keep in touch with the various
members of our own great family cir
Gle.
81 am proud to be able to tell you
this afternoon that in all my search
for the Wertz family, during the last
seven months, I have never heard OF
one of our blood that had lived an un-
worthy life or was engaged in any
thing but an honorable profession.
You scarcely realize the significance
of that statement until you stop to
think of the hundreds Of Wertzs that
are in America. On the contrary
have found Wertzs o~~
