A. gymnasium but it was only after tough fight that the palm of victory went to the boys from High street. The New Britain Machine showed 100 per cent improvement last eVe- ming over the previous form and It may be that the team is just about hitting it's stride. The RuSsWin and Landers teams which presented the finale in the evenings games, bat tied every minute with Johnny Sayes crew coming out on the long end of the score.
 Corbin Screw Wins
 The score of the Corbin Screw Machine game was Il 10 25, but this does not tell the story as it hap rened. The game, although ending with the winners having a big lead, was closely fought throughout and Inc Machiners, instead Of being Mlli tlIl u I'" pciIlts tO s'lo" to q nights work. were never behind more than few baskets.
 Near the end Of the second half, Jacobowicz and Darrow kept their team in the lead by dropping in sev- eral nifty baskets, but had it not been for the fact that the Cor bin team had got the jump in tho first half Of the game. the score would have been much closer.
 When the first half ended, the Corbn Screw team was leading 2G 10 1o but at times in the second frame, it looked as if the Machine team would tie the score. The New matics were very weak in scoring suckers" and after the rustiness In shooting Is worn off, the team will be a dangerous foe for the best in the league.
 Jacobowicz was the star of the winning team getting 10 field bas- l;ets while Eric Anderson found his eye last night and put in five neat goals. His running mate Ernie An- aerson Hot into the game in the second half and besides caging two field baskets and a foul, he played a sweet floor game.

EAST STILL TELLS POISONING TALES
Dempsey Said to Have Admitted
 Stories Were True

New York, Dec. s P-Not- withstanding Jack Dempsey's char acterization in Los Angeles of such reports as bunk and "hokum," stories of his alleged poisoning be- fore his championship match with Gene Tunney in Philadelphia con- tinue to be published in the east.
 The New York American said yes terday that Dempsey told a repre- sentative of the paper that he be- licved he was poisoned before the contest and that his suspicious were confirmed by a physician who eX- amned him the day after he lost his title. To this, Dempsey issued his third and most vehement poi sonIng" denial
 This poisoning story Is getting to be joke" he declared heatedIy. Something I said was misinterpre- ted. I was a little weak at the time of the fight but 1t wasn't due to poisoning
 The Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger recounted yesterday from most reliable sources" a story that Jersey mosquitos were the real req son for Dempsey's lack of the old fighting spirit" They injected their poison into hls system five days be- fore the battle when the champion fought the insects for two and a half hours in a swamp while avoid ing unwelcome visitors at his bung- allow, the paper said.
 Several days ago the Baltimore News published a story by Captain Mabbutt, one of Dempsey's hand lers, declaring that the former title holder, along with several members of his retinue, was poisoned before the fight, this Dempsey strongly denied.
 Gene Normile. manager of Demp- sey, had something 10 say on the "poison" subject after the fight.
 Yes, Dempsey was poisoned" hcl said. "Poisoned by rich lawyers and lawsuits
