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 c. Daily, better known to turf
followers as Father Bill DAILY, has
been ruled off, and, unless he decides to
asst 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
hest 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
OH July 80 Alex Shields got into trou-
BILE with Logan in the same race, and
WAS ruled OIL last Saturday. The work
of the stewards in Investigating the
case against DAILY was done SO quietly
and systematically that but few dreamed
that the axe would fall on DAILY. The
peculiar running of other horses from
Days stable at the Brighton meeting
was also taken into consideration, and
after lengthy discussion the stewards
late last night decided to rule DAILY off.
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 a fortune. Following up his
success with the natural shrewd trading
instincts he possessed; he got together
whom, including Bourke Cochran, be-
came famous over ehe jumps. In later
years he has owned such good ones as
Civil Service. Terriher, who ran second
in last years Suburban, Fidelo and
many others. He has been especially
fortunate in buying cast-offs from other
after. other owners and trainers had
failed. King Fam, whom he got from
the late ID. D. Withers, Bolero and
many others have been included in
these bargains. He now has something
like fifty horses in his stable.
Aside from his lucky speculations
Papa BIZ has gained National repu-
tation by his many peculiar, to say the
however, he has always managed to use
somebody else as a cloak, and has thus
been closely linked with II. F. Dwyer,
and this has caused much unfavorable
comment. The almighty dollar has been
Days one ambition, and he has gotten
went into deal without getting 100 per
cent. the best of it.
DAILY has often been in hot water. and
many times narrowly escaped being
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
In turning out star jockeys. Snapper"
Garrison, Jimmy" Mclaughlin and the
Il mly boys received their education in
his stable. At present Jimmy" Lamly

Brighton while Palmer was ruled off
for the alleged pulling OF Ingot. After
the race DAILY taunted 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 that
you dit not teach to be crooked. If
ever pulled a horse 1t was at your
bidding" Palmer offered to go before
the stewards and repeat his statements,
hut Papa BIZ didn't care to have him
co so.
it has been said that Father Biz
has on numerous occasions blackmailed
o,ners who won selling races, and In
tails manner made many enemies.
"Simmy" Mccormick once threatened
to report DAILY to the judges for this
then DAILY has been more careful.
DAILY has only one good leg, the other
one being of the cork variety. He rarely
bets more than $50 or 500 on a race,
but will go to any length TO get money
ed man to wager on his horses. He Is
supposed to be worth $500 900. His horses
rarely won when thew were fayOrites.
