New York, March 1S.-Infiuenced mainly by the hope that congress may modify or perhaps repeal existing tax laws relating to excess profits. to- days stock market registered many substantial additions to yesterdays gains. Greatest strength was dis played by shares of companies which are expected to follow the example of Crucible Steel in declaring lilAral stock dividends out of surplus earn ings. Extreme advances in various shares of this class extended from three to twenty points.
 2 The rise was further stimulated by reports that the railroad companies, with the cooperation of the Inter- state Commerce Commission, contem- plates awarding large contracts for much needed equipment and general reconstruction of the country's trans portation system1
 Other favorable factors included ? plentiful supply of call money at six per cent, with moderate offerings of time funds at a slight concession from recent rigid rates. Foreign exchange also manifested greater firmness.

 In the fourth and last round, Rank in did not have a chance. Proto knocked him down once with two blows to the jaw which Rankin was unable to avoid. Rankin tried to cover up but was apparently dazed and the blood was flowing. freely from his nose and one eye was rap idly closing. The round had gone about two minutes when Proto waded in with right crossing left to the head forcing Red to the ropes. Proto al lowed RaGkin to get set then slipped two in rapid succession to the jaw and Red wilted. Referee started his count and at the count of eight the bell sounded. Rankin lay for several seconds and when he did get up he was so dazed that he staggered around the ring being unable to To- cate his corner. When the bell sounded for the fifth round Rankin was apparently eager to resume the battle but Manager Fritts saw that his .tan was still dizzy and unable to see so stepped into tine ring, taking 1ediAhAI1 OdSh " lAAS .NOAACAs

Red Rankin, local aspirant for such pugilistic honors as he can gather about Norwich and vicinity. met his Waterloo Thursday evening when George Proto of New Haven, for Eddie Ford of Wat erbury, put Him away in four rounds of a scheduled 12 round bout at Olympic hall and only the bell saved Rankin from a knockout. The gong struck just as Referee Fury was tolling off the eighth second. Rank in's manager Fritts, refused to let his boy continue the bout and Proto is credited with a technical knock out.
 The bout for the first three rounds was fast and furious both men going to it without hesitation. Rankin from the first was outclassed by Proto, a more experienced and craft fer man, and it was only Reds re- markable defensive work and ability to cover up that saved him from taking the count earlier in the battle. Proto forced the fighting practically all the way and had Rankin com pletelv stopped at the end of the third round.
 The first round was nearly an even break both boys feeling out his op- ponent, Rankin leading and Proto countering with lefts and rights to the head and body. Proto showed some clever mitigating and Rankin was equally clever at blocking and covering up.
 The second round opened with Rankin leading and Proto giving a little ground, but as the round went on 1t was evident that Proto was, the more experienced fighter of the two and he turned the tide by driving in- to Reds s body and kidneys. Protc crossed his right with his left to the jaw but Rankin managed to cover IT saving himself time after time.
