Faltering Adamson Motor Car Quint Forfeits Game to
 Panther Reserves
By MAXWELL ALLEN


 Fans who attended to the Y. M c. A. weekly basketball games last night were furnished some rattling good entertain ments when the Y. NJ. c. A five trounced the North Birmingham Com munity quintet and the Sloss-Sheffield By-Product dribbiers dfd a similar thing to Stockham.
 The Central "Y" and North Birming- ham furnished the first battle of the night. In this game the North Birming- hammers fought gamely and played fast brand of basketball. but they were completely outclassed by their antago- nists from the !. M. c. A. The individual honors of the night be- long to 0. Hillburn. who, besides making six field goals, was all over the floor at once with his fingers either on or near the old ball, keeping down any at tempt that the boys from North Bir- mingham would make at a rally. w. Davis made 10 points for the Y. NJ. C. A. H. Davis, the third of the Davis clan in the game. was also a bright light, but not in the scoring line. as his spe- calty was in breaking up the pass work of his opponents and slipping the ball to his team mates. The veteran guard Rob- ertson, was also there with his usual stuff and for a while held both guard positions at once while his running mate, Brunson rang up four goals.
 For the visitors Nash was the lone star of the game, doing most of the scoring and a large part of the defensive.
 The Y. NJ. c. A. team was truly ma chine last night and the perfection with which it operated caused Professor Abel many capacious grins
 The lineup and summary were se fol- lows:
 Y. M. c. A, (S6.)-O. Hinburn d2), for ward w. Davis d0). forward D. Davis @, center; II. Davis, guard; Robertson (D. guard.

 Stockham and the Sloss-Sheffield were next to do battle and, while neither of the teams participating in this game had the skill in passing and putting the ball into the goal that the " boys possessed, this game was the better of the two, it was closer and both teams fought somewhat harder all of the way through the fray.
 In this game Messrs. Crook and Hanby, forwards for the Sloss boys. immediately came to the front in the scoring de- pertinent and. by combining some good pass work with an uncanny knack of putting the ball in the open space in the goal, easily made enough points to erase all doubt as to Sloss victory. On the defensive, Brooks and Walden were the best men for the Sloss five and held Stockham so we'll that the latter did not have chance to annex the much-covet- ed victory.
 The Stockham stars were Harold ani Sellers on the offensive, while Jack Li- Han and Cook furnished the good work on the defensive and of the game. The lineup and summary were as follows;
 Sheffield (22.)-Hanby @, for; ward; Crook 60, forward Brooks (S). center; Walden (6), guard; Bethea. guard.
