From the Fergusâ€"News Record ‘The late Bobert Hanne of Fergus was a supreme teller of tall tales We gathered some of them in a little booklet when he died. Here is one sample: Bob Hants was a great baseball player in his youngâ€" er days. He played for Belwood agzinst Gueiph when both piaces had fine ball teams. That was in the days when the scores ran kigh. before fancy curve balls were invented. Guelph had played at Belwood and Bob bad won the game for Belwood practically singlsâ€"handed. The Guelph team used all its pitâ€" chers, but every time he came to bat be knoeked a hame run, cleas out of the Betwood park. That worried the Guelph team but they decided it would not bappen is Gueiph. Before the return game was piayed they had a 12â€"foo%t board fence built all sxound the park But Bob fooled them. He went down and looked the fence over until be found a knctâ€"hole just a little larger thas a baseball. When he came to bet, be knocked the first pitch clean through the old knotâ€"hole.
