Keen Teamwork Gets
Polo Championship
For Gulf Stream
Stur-Studded Aknusti
Takes 1916 Beating
In National Open
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Sept. 22-Gulf
Stream, a polo team that had
enough teamwork to overcome su-
perior individual brilliance and
better mounts of its rivals, today
held the national open polo cham
pionShip.
Led by two newcomers to big
time polo. Alan Corey and Charley
Won Stade, the Gulf Stream four
won the title on International Field
at the Meadow Brook Club yester-
day with a 1915 triumph over
Aknusti. which had only the name
and Ebby Gerry left from the quar-
tet that took the 1910 championship.
There was no real star on the
winning side, although Mike Phipps,
the teams only veteran and its
highest ranked player, stood out
bit above the rest. Won Stade, who
scored four goals from his No. 8
post, and Corey, who turned in a
grand performance at back. were
the real reasons why Gulf Stream
won. Both played we'll above their
six-goal ratings and they were at
their best during the second half,
when Gulf Stream pulled away after
the score had been tied three times.
This years Aknusti quartet was
composed of Eddy Gerry, his twin
brothers, Eddie and Henry, and Pete
Bostwick, the steeplechase rider.
They played we'll and were superbly
mounted, but in the end they
weren't quite as good as team.

The Mats have escaped the Gel
lar-at least the worst they can
commit is tying for seventh place
by losing their remaining seven
games-but the credit for their
evacuation of the basement hasn't
been placed properly. To Jimmy
Pofahl the Mats are indebted.
To Pofahl, who gave his interpre-
tation of shortstopping for the first
two months of the season, the Mats
owe much. When he quit the
club on June Is, hufily returning to
his Faribault tMinn) home rather
than be shipped to Chattanooga,
the 194l Mats apparently received
their biggest break
With Pofahl the Mats were
stumbling along at a creaky .32l
clip. winning only II of their first
SIS games. Without Jimmy, WASH
ington has been an acceptable
major league outfit, winning so
games and dropping A. These last
three months the Mats have been
no worse than a 532 team.

Club After Dropping PofohI;;
Even Feud With Mocks

AS The Mats also climbed into
undisputed possession of sixth
place.
The club may discover 1t trif1e
tough to remain in sixth place,
though. for confronting it this week
are three games with the Red SoX
and four with the Yankees. Boston
will play single game here tomor-
row and a double-header on We'd
nesday and the Mats will finish the
season against the Yankees at New
York over the week end.
Only Boston and New York have
been extremely harsh with Washing
ton. The Mats split even with
Philadelphia and st. Louis, walloped
the Tigers Is times in % comes, won
10 and lost II with the Indians and
won and lost 13 with the White
Sox. The Yankees have spanked
the Mats IA times in 18 games, while
the Red Sox have whipped Washing
ton IL times in 19 engagements.
In Washington's last seven games
Cecil Travis will attempt to become
the first Nat in three years to whack
home 100 runs. Cecil, who already
owns his best season in that respect,
needs only four more to reach the
century.
Washington manufactured a 2
run rally in the ninth to capture
that first game, much to the glee of
1000 customers. The Mats entered
the inning trailing, As, but the bases
rapidly were filled as Pinch-hitters
Buddy Lewis and Buddy Myer both
singled and George Case walked.
Doc Cramer's single fetched Lewis
home with the tying run and when
Hills Layne dribbled a single off
Relief Pitcher Newman Shirley's
glove Myer scored with the winning
run.
Cramer Takes First Rest.
Cramer missed his first inning Of
the season in the nightcap when he
was replaced by Sammy West, who
contributed two of the Mats nine
hits off Fred Caligiuri. Meanwhile,
Rookie Early Wynn was surviving a
stormy first inning to stymie the
AS with eight hits.
Wynn, who was belted for five
hits in the first two innings, settled
to yield only three more in the final
seven innings. He permitted the
Athletics their two runs in the first
inning, then hurled an Shining
shutout as the Mats caught up with
Caligiuri.
The Mats thus were extending
their winning streak to five games.
