Bill Hart) In 'bowling, like every other game, it's enthusiasm that counts. • The late Fred Hunt, of Goderich, was one of those bowlers whose enthusiasm was almost overfloiving. Chewingthe end of a .cigar which he would light every fine minutes, he was lost com- pletely in his game. So enthused was' he thatno matter how often he lit his cigar, he always forgot to smoke it. At the finish of a game he would have it all chewed away. .He was known throughout this whole dis- trict, -for he attended 'every bowling tournament within reach. Occasionally' e have heard• some- one remark: "Well, a we didn. t....win, but we beat' Fred Hunt." That was the highest praise that could have been heaped on^any bowler. He gave no quarter and asked for none in re- turn. No one coeld have got more out of bowling .because he put his heart and soul into it every time he played. • Fred Hunt passed away about the middle of March of this year. In his (rassing we were save of one thing , . .If they bowl in Heaven Fred Hunt ' will be in the game.
