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. «Copyright W M V.» hush-hush policy will never work.
