DIXIES §18,000 PAY CHECK Giants’ Star Second Sacker Signs for Liberal Salary York dispatches this morning that Frank Frisch, the Giants baseman, signed for a $18,( New state second year at a salary of Holds High Place. The Associated Press. ew York, Jan 2 brilliant second eman of the New York Giants has taken rank as one of the outstanding performers of pre- sent-day baseball in all around play. Though some students may not rate the “Fordham Flash” as quite the equal of Babe Ruth or Rogers Horns- by, there is littie doubt that these three top the modern list, replacing the old triumvirate Eddie Collins, Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb, John McGraw manager of the Giants, rates Frisch the greatest player of the asserted he would not ex infield star for Hornsby “even up.” A comparisou of the rivals for all around honors show that Hornsby is a better hitter than Frisch, but can- not equal him in second base play, or in speed and cunning on the paths. Friseh, too, is just as good at third as he is at the keystone bag. Ruth is more formidable offense than eis ther of the two National Leaguers ‘rank IFrisch, of day. He hange his but is not as valuable as either in de-| fense. He does not compare with ¥risch as a base-runner, although he| is better on the paths than Hornsby. Is Clever Fellow. Frisch's temperament, keen inteli- genee, and the fact that he always takes good care of himself are im- portant factors in his favor. His 1923 worid's series play w tacular individual work of that color- ful event. Close inspection of Frisch's record last season strengthens his claims to greatness. He made more base hits than y other man in his league, and only his team-mate, Young, led him in runs scored. He made 32 triples, ten doubles and twelve homel runs. He is a consistent batter and an uncanny bunter. Friseh, on record so far has demonstrated right to make quartet of that famous trio of second sackers—Eddie Collins, Nap Lajole and Johnny Evers, Frisch counts Ruether Brooklyn flingers, itchers he has faced, vank will be a rich man some day,” sald McGraw, “for he invests his money well and has bood husiness sense.” his Vance, deadlest and Columbia’s Basketball Team Defeats Penn Five New York, Jan, 12.—Columbia de- feated Pennsylvania, 26 to 19, last ydght in the opening Intercollegiate basketball lcague game.
