Philadelphia, Dec 15.-Tommy Love, the local boxer, outfought Hughey Me Govern in six round bout before the Broadway Athletic club last night. Nc Govern was there at the finish, but it was only in the first two rounds that he had any real chance with the local fighter. Love had very decided ad- vantage in the matter of reach, and made excellent use of this advantage, stopping the plucky little Brooklyn fighter with jabs to the face. At in lighting Hughey more than held his own, but he was outboxed and had lit tie chance to get to Love.
 Ill the first round the boys opened with left jabs, and Love slipped to the floor. McGovern fought for the body and Love jabbed his left to the mouth. It was give and take all through the first session, and the gong found them in a clinch, with honors even. The second was of the same order. McGov- ern rushing and fighting in the clinch- es, while Love attempted to keep out of the way and chopped rights and lefts to the face.
 From the third round to the finish 1t was Love all the way. In that round he repeatedly jolted Hughey with right hooks to the jaw. Each round saw the Brooklyn boy tiring, While Love had plenty of steam behind his blows, though he could not drop the little fighter from Brooklyn, who continued to carry the fight to his bigger op- ponent. McGovern made good finish in the sixth round and both slugge1 merrily to the bell, but Love was land ing two to one and had it been a long CT bout there is no question but he would have knocked McGoyern out.

 In the first round AbeIl got home several good rights to the jaw and some severe body blows. Harris land ed a left on the stomach and hooked the left to the chin. Harris landed that long left of his repeatedly and Abell went to his chair leR weary. In the second Harris commenced to Jab and Abell was all at sea. In the third Harris kept begging away at AbeIlis nose until the latter had much difficulty In breathing. Harris alsO brought ehopping smashes with both gioves to the jaw and had Abell reel ing. The latter Tamely stuck 1t out although at the end he was tired

The ice boating season is here. Ra- eers are rapidly tuning into trim for the important midwinter events on the Shrewsbury river, in New Jersey; the Hudson river, New York; the great lakes and the middle west rivers and lakes.
 Members of the famous Pewaukee (Wisconsin) Yacht club are looking for ward to lively racing season and ex- pect to hold number of interesting contests.
 The Pewaukee fleet has been made more formidable by the addition of number of ice racers of the first order, and these. with the new craft that were put on the lake last winter, but have not been tried out because of the poor ice last year, will give the Pewau- kee lake sailors what Is. to all purposes q fleet of at least ten new and up to date ice boats. This fact will add great Iy to the interest in the sport, because there are so many boats the speed of which is as yet an unknown quantity.
 The Pevaukee Ice Yacht club Is an auxiliary of the Pewaukee Yacht club, and the present officials are: Commo- dore. George NJ. Conway; vice commo- dore, Emil Wallber; secretary. A. c. Miller; fleet captain, Andrew Nelson. A three mile and six mile course will be laid out. The three mile course will be straightaway, while the other will be triangular. two miles to the leg.
 A number of prizes have been put up, and it is understood that should the weather and Ice conditions justify the Pewaukee club will extend invitations to all ice boat clubs of the west to par ticipate in the free for all contests that the club usually holds the first week of January.

INJURED
 HIS HAND
Lenny Fought Several Rounds After Hurting His Hand But Had to Give Up-Fitz and Hart.

Eddie I.enny of Chester, Pa, who has not done much fighting of late, returned to the ring last Tuesday night at Leiperville, Pa, in fifteen round bout with Young Mack of Ches- ter. The mill ended in the tenth round because Lenny dislocated his left arm. The decision, of course, went to Mack. The contest, despite the accident, was interesting. Lenny opened the fight with left to Mack's jaw which dazed the latter. But Mack came back in the second, smashing Lenny frequent ly on the ribs and causing the latter to hug. The seventh was hot round. The boys mixed it up often, exchanging face and body blows.
 Lenny scored number of telling blows in the ninth. The injury 0 his arm happened in the third round, but Lenny continued to fight until the tenth. In this round the arm became useless, and when Lenny offered no defense the referee stepped in and stopped hostilities.
 Patsy Hogan of New Orleans de feated Billy Smith of Boston in hot ten round bout at Peoria last Tues day night. Hogan won by a knock out in the fifth round. In the fifth Hogan landed a hard uppercut and put Smith away. Smith was badly punished about the body and face.

LIGHT ON THE LOAN
Mysterious Fund of $685, ,OOO
 Held by Equitable Heads.
FOR LOBBYING AND POLITICAL USES
It Ia Now Said That Money Received by Alexander and Jordan From Mercantile Trust Was Used
 For Unla W fu1 Purposes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Although the legislative committee appointed to in- vestlgate insurance methods has hard- ly got to work, light is already begin ming to break through the mystery which has yelled the S6S5. 900 loan car ried by the Mercantile Trust company for years in the names of the Equitable officials James w. Alexander and Thomas D. Jordan. as trustees.
 From an authoritative source it was learned not only that portions of the fund carried under that fuctuating ac- count were used for the payment of political contributions to both great parties. for. defraying campaign ex- penses. that otber sums were deducted from it for lobbying expenses and for the settlement out of court of annoy ing litigation. but also that a consid. erable share of the total was used for the purchase of eighty-nine shares of the stock of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society at the then market rates. which varied from S4,000 to $5,000 . share.
 It is explained that the purpose of this purchase was to prevent these outstanding shares from falling into undesirable hands," and it is believed officers of the society or persons active in their interest took this course to prevent any considerable portion of the stock of the Equitable from becoming the property of persons who might as stockholders bring troublesome suits for an accounting or for a partition of the surplus in the interest of policy holders. .g
 If. as Henry C. Deming president of the Mercantile Trust company, under stood and so testified before Commiss sioner Hendricks. this was really loan made to the Equitable. then the use of any portion of it for such pur. pose was improper and illegal. as the attorney general has averred in the suit brought against the old board ot directors in behalf of the state.

Five costly errors were registered by Hartford, while Springfield tallied one.

But the bunch went away sick They had not even seen ball game. Bill Luby was not hard to solve.

TABLE OF PERCENTAGES.
HANLON LIKES HODGE.

Holyoke. Aug 3.-After three inef- fectual attempts. Manager Ned Hanlon of the Brooklyn Superbas yesterday saw the Paper Weights play full nine innings. being a spectator at the game with New London. Immediately af- rewards he left for Cincinnati to join his own aggregation, the work of the Paper Weights yesterday, reminding him of his bunch of tail-enders.
 As will be seen elsewhere, Holyoke nut up the worst game 1t has shown in n long. long time. despite which. how ever. Hanlon is strongly impressed with the great composition of the team. As a matter of fact. the veteran is. too old bird to gauge the work of a team on it's one off day. and the temporary slump in no wise altered his previous opinion of the leaders.
 That is q capital infield' said the manager to the Union man fast. az gressive and full of ginger" He also liked the work of Carson Hodge. whom he had watched for few innings on the previous day. when the pitcher performed against New Haven. ''Of course" said Hanlon. you cannot give final judgment on a pitcher by seeing him work only once. and especially against such weak team as New Ha- ven. but what saw of Hodges work I liked extremely.
 Beyond his statement of the preyi- ous day. Hanlon had nothing to di. ,ulge to the public. and all that is known Is that he thinks highly of Hummel. Hartley and Schincel. and also believes that Mccormick has re. gained his big league form. while his opimon of Hodge will he hailed with pleasure by the pitchers many admir-. CTS
