JIM HAMILTON
FOR BLAUSSER
Rumored Trade of Hannibal shortstoE
For Galesburg Third Base
man is on.

GALESBURG, ILL.,, Feb. local
baseball crabs are tanning about the
latest newspaper baseball trade which
involves the swap of that peerless
third sacker, Roy Blausser, for jim
ME Hamilton of the Hannibal club.
Many who have heard OF the trade are
lining up on one side or the other
of the proposition and If no other way
can be found of settling it, joint
debate between the two sides is sug-
gested.
The deal follows close on the heels
of the trade of Outfielder Nickel for
Eberts of the Hannibal club but the
last trade is not yet confirmed and is
probably at this stage entirely in the
realm Of aviation. AS far as can be
learned the swap Of Nickel for Eberts
is considered about an even exchange
Both men are fairly good outfelders
and Nick is trifle heavier on the
batting end of the program. On the
bases "Ducky" Ebert has 1t on him
in some departments, but Ducky's fast
motion is derived partially from the
shortness of his legs while Nick
moves along with the grace Of an
African giraffe
