 Norman Mandy was up 10 his old tricks shortly after the game began and succeeded in fally5ng six field goals before it was over Most of Mandy's goals were from pase the foul line, for he was closely watched beneath the baskets
 Leake And Montgomery Star.
 Armstead Leake and Hugh Mont gomery composed the eetensrVe strength of the ClubAers and the Panthers found the going beneath the baskets just 2s diEficalt as that of the Blues Richardson and Kim brough hit the bullseye with a few long ones. but generally speaking. the offensive of the P2nthe-s was nothing to write home about
 There was much fOuling Saturday night which. however. didn't ma terially affect the score IL Eas a nip and tuck affair, long shooting being the chief reliance of both teams. With such men As Mandy and Hilburne. the Blues were able 10 outdo the Partners in 1ais style of play.
 The Clubbers didn't present as strong an attack as E. A C- 6evotees might s-ish- There was practically no passing attack climaxed with . neat shot beneath the basket While signal formations from 7he -ip-Ofs were rarely tried However the i'm dividual performers p-oved them selves, and the teamwork should come with the advancing season

Birmingham-So Puts Up Stiff Defense, But Off, fenSe Is Poor After Early Start

It was & fighting Panther that took the court at the Birmingham Ath- letic club Saturday night, after three years absence from the basketball game. Even though the g to IS score would indicate that Coach Err ming from their Owenton foes. those who witnessed the encounter are convinced that the Panther of Sun shine Slopes will be hard to beat except in the fastest of company.
 The Partners displayed a close guarding style that forced the Blues to long range shooting, and had it not been for the excellence of Mis- ters Mandy and Milburne for this style of play, the story could easily have been different. Especially in messing up the pass work of the Clubbers were the Partners best. and it was practically impossible for the Blues to run their plays over the collegians.
 After an opening rush that car ried them quickly to the front. the Panthers slackened up in their of fensive. and the Clubbers finally got their long ones working. In this early offensive. the sensational bulls eye shooting of Rat" Kimbrough and Red Richardson accounted for five Panther field goals, that came almost before the Clubbers realized that the game was on.
 O O O
 Vincent Starts Scoring.
 Then Charlie Vincent came along, and with a couple of nice goals started the Blues on their way. Nor man Mandy began to find the range of the hoops, and soon the score was bit in favor of the Blues. From then on. it was merely question of how long the game would last. for the Partners never displayed any sort of an offensive after the first half. However. their close, hard de- fensive blocked Erwin's men throughout, and the long field goals proved to be the winning factors for the Clubbers.
 After his entrance into the game, Ollie Hilburne, a veteran City league star of recent years. turned out to be a thorn in the side of the Panther Hilburne played splendid floor game. his passwork helped his mates work the ball into scoring position, and his five field goals were beauties. Hidhurne tried few shots, but the majority of them rang

Frisch Is One Of
 Outstanding Men In Game To-day.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-(Assoctate Press.)-Frank Frisch, brilliant secl ond basemah of the New York Giants, has taken rank as one of the out baseball in all around play. Though some students may not rate the "Fordham: Flash" as quito the equal of Babe Ruth or Rogers Hornsby, there is little doubt that these three top the modern list, replacing the oid triumvirate of Eddie Collins. Iris Speaker and Ty Cobb.
 John McGraw. manager of the Giants, rates Frisch tho greatest fplayer of the day. He asserted he would not exchange his infield star for Hornsby "eyen up.'~
 A comparison of the rivals for al, around honors show that Hornsby cannot equal him in second base play. or in speed and cunning on the paths. Frisch. too, is just as good at third as he Is at the keystone bag. Ruth Is moro formidable on offense than either of the two National either in defense. He does not com pare with Frisch as a base-runner, although he Is better on the paths than. Hornsby.
 Frisch's temperament, keen .intelli- gence, and the fact that he always takes good care of himself are i'm portant factors in his favor. His 1928 worlds series play was tho most spectacular individual work of that ,colorful event,
 Close. inspection of Trisch.s record last season strengthens his claims to greatness. He made more base hits than any other man in his league, and only his team mate, Young, led him in runs scored. He made 32 triples, 10 doubles and 12 home runs. He is a consistent batter and an un- canny, ,bunter.
 Frischs on his record so far. has demonstrated his right to make a quartet of that famous trio of sec ond sackers-Eddie Collins. Nap La- joie and Johnny Evers.
 Frisch counts Ruether and Vance, Brooklyn fingers. as the deadliest pitchers he has faced.
 , .sFrank willt be rich man some day." said McGraw, flor he invests his money. well and has good busi- ness sense."
