UNDERWOOD THINKS RAILROAD MEASURE
 IS CRUDELY DRAWN
Will Vote for Bill, However, if Not Amended Making Time of Control
 Unlimited

Washington, February 20.-Another session was given over by the Senate today to discussion of the administra- ton railroad bill with prospects of a final vote before adjournment tomor- row. Voting on amendments will be- gin at ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 Consideration of the bill was de- layed in the House by a party fight over a resolution setting aside space in 8 local park for a monument to former President Buchanan, but the de bate will be taken up again tomor- row.
 Although speaking in support of the bill in the Senate today Senator Un- derwood of Alabama, democrat, de- clared 1t Hacks limitation and was crudely drafted. He said he would vote for it provided it was not amend ed so as to provide for an indefinite period of government control The ex- isting law under which the President took over control of the railroads, he asserted was unconstitutional because it did not provide for a just compen- sation" for the carriers.
 Senators Poindexter of Washington and Sherman of Illinois, republicans, also discussed the bill, the former urg- ing the substitution of the original draft, placing final ratemaking power in the hands of the interstate com merce commission. Senator Sherman supported the bill.

 It is of utmost importance, there fore, that you keep yourself in, tip- top physical trim, and that you take every precaution to safeguard your health from the many pitfalls which disease has spread so promiscuously. Keeping thoroughly we'll and strong is simply q matter of resisting dis ease.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBErr

the whole contest, yet the most impcr- tant. That one punch which John L' had landed paved the way to his trluinph few rounds later.
 Ryan was weary as the fourth began, and it was evident to every ringside spectator that he had been badly hurt by that crashing right-hander in the third. Paddy fought almost wholly on the defensive in the fourth, and as one round followed another Paddy seemed to the ground with stunning force. But pending almost alone upon his terrific right-hand punch, was wearing down Ryan to point of exhaustion. Time and again the Bostonian might have clinched and then thrown his opponent to the groud with stunnig force. But always, when John L. had the chance he used his fists and not his arms
 Ryan was game and that together with his plendid condition enabled him to stave off early defeat. He fought as best he could, but his best was not enough to stop the furiously aggressive Sullivan. The Boston Highland Strong Boy rarely gave Ryan chance to clinch. He forced open fighting and with mefciless precision sent his right handler to the bloody and battered head of his foe. Ryans face took on ghastly appearance.
 A few left etabs by Sullivan, followed by right-hander to the jaw of the stag gering Ryan, ended the eighth round in less than minute. When Ryan crum- pied to the turf it seemed impossible for him to resume. But by an almost superhuman effort he answered the call for time in the ninth round, tottering rather than walking to "scratch'-the imaginary line drawn across the ring from the unoccupied corners and which each fighter had to toe at the beginning of round under London prize ring rules.
 AS Ryan staggered to scratch ho lunged for Sullivan's head with an err ratio left. He missed by six inches. Then, as Sullivan stood by waiting for ''knock-him-d opening. Ryan pushed out another feeble and futile punch, immediately afterward falling I into a clinch. Sullivan forced break \ away and, realizing then that Paddy was about gone, went in to finish him.
 After he rushed Ryan clear of the clinch John l.. rushed his foe in a fury. 4 The championship was within his grasp. He meant to seize it. He sent a fusil- lade Of blows to Ryans head and body. Each seemed to be the last. But Ryan, With dogged courage, kept his feet through more than minute of fight ing. Then, weary to a point of utter exhaustion, he dropped his guard and John l.. sent right handler to the un- protected jaw. Ryan dropped. and John l.. Sullivan was crowned as king ot pugilism.
 And then began the golden days and the glorious days in the spectacular life of the champion of champions"
