Few men who have been associated
with the horse racing game for period
OF nearly ten years have been smiled
upon by success in that comparatively
short time than DR.. J. s. Tyree. of

the most formidable and perhaps the
best equipped racing stable in America.

have brought DIR. Tyree success in the
racing world reveal several remarkable
facts. Standing out. pre-eminently are
his strict ideas of true sportsnanship.
This alone has probably won him pres

He asserts that he is not in the racing
game for money, though he makes his
stable self-sustaining by applying strict
business principles Weekly accounts

precision at all times

belief that he can get the best results
by spending necessary amounts which,

arians and often through the applica-

able to get at the bottom Of equine all
ments by meteorological and chemical
tests which he conducts personally.
Blood and serum cultures have often
revealed facts to him which have en-

He has no secret to keep from the
public. The humblest and loftiest al
ways have entree to the estimation IN
which he holds horse when sent to
the post. He regards the commission
form of betting as one Of the menaces
to the sport and advocates its elimina-
