In 1919 he was promoted to the first class, Ferdinand Frithum was the best club shooter with 14 and 10 goals respectively in the first two first division seasons and thus played a key role in staying up.

Together with his strike partners Alois Tremmel and Franz Eckl , he played an international match against Hungary in Budapest on November 9, 1919 . This was due, among other things, to the fact that Rapid - who made up nine out of ten field players in the previous international match - did not provide any players because they had a championship game against Wacker on the program. Ferdinand Frithum played for Vienna until 1923, then retired for professional reasons. He was dispatcher of the company Schenker & Co .

The collection of titles began with the first two titles in the ÖFB Cup in 1929 and 1930 and reached its peak with the Austrian championships in 1931, 1933 and the Mitropa Cup in 1931 . Richard Kohn's team, which included the later wonder team players Rainer , Blum - with whom Frithum still played actively -, Hofmann and Gschweidl , was able to form Frithum into one of the best club teams in Europe.
