DAILY IS RULED OFF.
One Of the Unique Characters Of
the Turf in Disgrace,
Friend Of N. F. Dryer and Tutor
Of Great Jockeys.
His Horses Had a Habit OF Losing
When They Were Favorites.

William e. DAILY, better known to turf
followers as Father BIZ DAILY, has
been ruled off, and. unless he decides to
cast his lot among the turf outlaws at
Flushing, or other tracks that are with
out the pale of the Jockey Club, the
chances are that the name of one Of the
most unique characters that ever raced
a thoroughbred will soon be but a MEM
DRY to the racing public.
There has been but one expression
since the decision of the stewards OF the
Jockey Club became known. and that Is
to the effect that they did one of the
best things possible for the interest of
the turf
The offense for which the Sage of
Hartford" must suffer was the pulling
of Lizzie in the last race at Brighton
on July %. Alex Shields got into trou-
BILE with Logan in the same race, and
was ruled OF last Saturday. The work
OF the stewards in investigating the
case against DAILY was done so quietly
and systematically that but few dreamed
peculiar running of other horses from
DAYS stable at the Brighton meeting
was also taken into consideration, ana
after a lengthy discussion the stewards
late last night decided to rule DAILY OF
Days career on the turf has been
remarkable: HIS real introduction to
racing took place sixteen years ago
He then owned Lizzie ID. He won sew
eral races with her. and rapidly accu-
mulated fortune. Following up his
success with the natural shrewd trading
instincts he possessed, he got together
a formidable string of horses some Of
whom, including Bourkc Cochran, be-
came famous over the jumps. In later
years he has owned such good ones as
y
in last years Suburban. Fidello and
many others. He has been especially
fortunate In buying cast-ons from other
stables and making racers of them;
failed King Fan. whom lie got from
the late d. l.. Withers, BoIcro and
many others have been included in
like fifty horses in his stable.
Aside from his lucky speculations
Papa Biz has gained a National repu-
tation by his many peculiar, to say the
least, transactions. Naturally shrewd.
however. he has always managed to use
somebody else as n cloak, and has thus
pulled through. OF late years he has
comment. The almighty dollar has been
Days one am bition, and he has gotten
It, Men who know DAILY say he never
cent. the best of IT.
DAILY has often been in hot water. and
many times narrowly escaped being
ruled Off. He got into trouble for
crooked work at Washington few
years ago and had hard time clearing
himself.
The one redeeming feature of Days
career on the turf has been his success

Lamly boys received their education in
his stable. At present Jimmy Lamly
Is under suspension because DAILY re-
fused to allow him to ride for Marcus

premiership. Money, as usual, Is said
to be the real cause.
Brighton Willie Palmer was ruled off
for the alleged pulling OF Ingot. After
the race DAILY tainted the boy about
having pulled the horse and Palmer i'm
mediately replied: II only did as you
told me. Nobody ever rode for you tina t
you did not, teach to be crooked. If
Kidding" Palmer offered to go before
the stewards and repeat his statements,
but Papa Bill' didn't care to have him
do so.
1t has been said that Father BIZ
has on numerous occasions blackmailed
owners who won selling races. and in
this manner made many enemies;
Jimmy" Mccormick once threatened
to report DAILY to the judges for this
trick at the Elizabeth track, and since
then DAILY has been more careful.
DAILY has only one good leg, the other
e being of the cork variety. He rarely
is more than $50 or 800 on a race
at will go to any length to get a money
ed man to wager on his horses. He is
supposed to be worth 100000 His horses
rarely won when they were favorites.
