AS Aknusfis Take
u. 5. Polo Title
Ebbie and Bobby Gerry
Led Bostwicks to Same
In 1889 Tourney

same brother act" that won the
national open polo championship for
Bostwick field year ago-Ebbie and
Bobby Gerry-carried Aknusti to the
1910 title at the Meadow Brook Club
yesterday.
Aknusti conquered a strong Great
Neck team, Sparked by Stewart
Iglehart. 5-4, in the final match be-
fore $4,000 spectators. .c
This probably proves not only that
Elbridge T. Gerry, chairman Of the
New York State Harness Racing
Commission, is one of the best polo
players around. but the old Aiken
team of decade ago was one of
the most remarkable polo groups
ever assembled. Eggie Gerry was
one of that team of youngsters and
SO was Iglehart, one of the world's
two active 10-goal players.
Iglehart gave a defensive demon
stration that almost won yesterdays
game, but Aknusti had the better
horses and the smooth working
Gerry combine that accounted for
two goals and set up a couple more
for Gerry Smith, who raped in
three.
The losers will get a chance for
the consolation prize this week in
the Monty Waterbury Cup tourna-
ment, high-goal handicap event
which opened Saturday with Texas
trouncing Westbury, 1873. Texas was
led by l0-goal Cecil Smith, who
scored seven times, and had the
useful services of Jimmy Mills, an
other former old Aiken player.

"JNI0N PACIFIC" ON FOUR DAYS AS
 COLISEUM SHOW

A star-packed cast topped by Barbara Stanwyck and Joel Me- Crea, he heroic story of the build ing of Americas first transconti- mental railroad and some of the biggest epic scenes Cecil B. De Mile has ever filmed combine to make C.B.'s newest offering, Union Pacific" one of the most impressive works of many season. Paramount will give it it's first local showing tonight at the Coliseum Theatre. This feature will be shown four days.
 The two principals of the story, played to perfection by Miss Stan wyek and McCrea, are Mollie Mor- ahan and Jeff Butler: she the lusty, joyous daughter of UP" en- gineer and the mascot of the rail- oadbuilders, he handsome trouble-shooter sent out by Wash ington when trouble makers threat en the construction of the road. Their whirlwind romance is in keeping with the mad pace of the times in which it took place.
 At the 'end of the track" the crawling town that moves ever Westward, Jeff meets his biggest problem in Sid Campeau (Brian Donlevy), who has been hired to delay the building of the "U F." by a Chicago financier who hopes to profit by selling the stock short. Campeau uses every means to carry out his plan: he operates a dance-hall and gambling den at "end of trackr to distract the workers, stirs up Indians to attack the railroad and even rohs . pay train at a crucial moment. His successive defeats at the hands of Jeff and his aides provides a thrill ling struggle that lasts throughout the picture.
