A DESERVED REWARD!
The signing of Ashland’s Bob Hardy by the Detroit
Tigers was welcome news to his many friends and
acquaintances here, and their general feeling oi sat-
lsiaction was occasioned by more than civic pt ide.
Hardy's recognition by the major leagues comes
largely as a tribute to his clean living and good sports-
mansnip, and residents of his home town can rightly
derive satisfaction from the knowledge that such an
outstanding young man should be a product of this
city and its schools. For Bob attended grade, junior
and senior high classes here, as well as Southern Ore
gon College of Education for two years, and it has
been only the last two seasons that the athletic star
has been attending the University of Oregon, where
he has starred on championship basketball and base
ball teams.
Bob, of course, is a great credit to his parents and
to himself, and thereby is a testimonial to the certain
rewards which constructive habits and directed ambi
tion will bring. His progress in the national sport will
be watched with interest and affection by those whe
know him.
