A C1ose Ftnysh at Ascot.

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Jan. 21.-Big fields and several very close finishes were the features of the racing at As. cot. The finish between Lady Kispar, Lady Mirtbful and Mae Fiecknoc was so close that hardly any two specta- tors agreed as to the order of finish. After deliberating for several minutes the judges placed them as named. Nei- ther had more than nose advantage over the next horse. Two favorites won.

MORE ABOUT TAYLOR CASE

President Comiskey of the Chicago American league club has some scath- ing criticism Of James A. Hart's state ment regarding the case of Pitchey Jack Taylor. This is what Comiskcy scys:
 If Hart and his associates in the National league arc so confident thac Taylor is crooked. why do they allow him to stay in the game: They claim to serve the best interests of the sport. Does this winking at alleged fragrant dishonesty and condonina the alleged boasted bribe taking by Jack Taylor serve the sport: Hart denies that he is on trial. I want tO tell him that he'll have to prove those charges or there'll be something mighty like a assailed. for while Hart has been very careful not to bring my name into it, am the head and responsible party of the Chicago American league club. and Il reflection that my club or team has bought victory in such Il fashion can rot go unanswered. This is not the end of the controversy by any means. Hart says he will not be dragged into peanut politics and will not walk into any trap. He'll go before the National commission and he'll answer to that body in such a way that either he will convict Taylor or he will fail. In either event one of the two men will be out of base ball.
 Has every man ill the National league got to get evidence that play TT is dishonest before they can do any thing about it: Hart stands at the lead of his grand stand stairs all sum- r,cr aud says he has the goods on Tay Tor. He now claims to have told Pull liam and Hermann all about it. There it stops and Taylor is allowed to re- main d member of a National league club and pitch on Hart's grounds for St Louis before patrons who have been told that the player is dishonest. Then Hermann gets up in the public meet ing and says Taylor is not honest, after echoing Harts statement that he wants Taylor to sue him. Is that the way to treat a dishonest ball player!s
 Hart has been guilty of no offense. has he! Well. how would I look to myself and sthe public if some one had come 10 me with a story that one of my players had said he got more money for losing than for winning and tho only move I made was to trade the player 10 another club in the same league: If that had happened in my club I couldn't get meeting of the National commission called quick enough to put that player out of base t.a st.,.f n if.s hn sfa I am beginning to believe the whole play was made by Hart as lame ex- cusc for side-stepping q series with my club last fall and that the National league is now trying to protect him
