Comiskey of Chicago to Force the Taylor Case to a Finish--Both Leagues Now Friendly.

Both the National and American Baseball leagues held their annual ses- sions in New York yesterday scarcely a block apart.
 The National magnates convened in the Victoria hotel and ratified the schedule compiled by President Har- ry Pulliam, which was later given out to the public.
 The American moguls met in the Breslin and transacted all the regular business scheduled for the meeting.
 The delegates to the convention were: Messrs Farrell and Gordon of New York, Sheib and Mack of Phila- delphia, President Taylor of the worlds champion Bostons B. S. Miner and T. S. Moves of Washington, Charles A. Comiskey of Chicago R. l.. Hedges of St Louis, C. W. Somers and J. F. Kilfoyle of Cleveland and F. J. Navin of Detroit. 9E4 sg

 The Taylor case will not down. That now notorious pitcher was around both hotels for the better part of the afternoon. He was accomnan- fed part of the time by his lawyer, John M Ward
 It is said that the National league will not be allowed to forget the charges made against Tavlor bv Pres ident Hart of the Chicago National league club. He al'eeed publicly at various times that TavlOr had pitched crooked ball for his team while they were nlaying post-season series with the Chicago-American in the fall of 1903.
 Comiskev had the following to say about the affair:
 "The whole case is one of the Mg- gest outrages I ever heard of. The National league looks to be in pretty hot pickle. Here they have been talk ing about a player in their own league. calling him crook and intimating all sorts of raw performances. but when they are asked to toe the scratch with proof they throw up their hands and quit have filed charges against Hart and demand that some sort of punish- ment be handed to him for iniuring the reputation of my ball club, and ai-
