Is dead. He succumbed say yesterday in Roosevelt hospital te an {liness belloved to have resulted from food poisoning. Born Nicholas Forzly, few of those to whom he was a familiar figure at the tracks knew what the initia! stood for. He was said te have bet many thousands of dollars in an after- noon's play at therace tracks, Four years ago he is said to have weon $1,500,000 in the winter season at New Orleans only to lose it in the summer at the nerthern tracks. Whether he died rich or poor could not be ascertained. He was born in Mancheater, Eng- land, about 4§ years ago of Syrian parentage and had been a follower of the races for 25 years. “Nick F." {s survived by his wid- ow. Mrs. Daisy Forzly, to whom he had been married 20 years and who was his constant companion at the tracks. When luck was good “Nick F." loaded her with jewels. When it was bad she pawned them. They often were rich in the morning and poor at night. Or the other way around. Forzly did not smoke, drink or play eards. Other gamblers respect- ed his judgment and honesty so im- plicity that when broke he never had trouble obtaining a loan with which to start his operations anew. After one of his crashes he is said to have borrowed $150,000 from race track acquaintances for a new start, "Wonight on yOIll‘RaJl.o. e+ o THE MOST UNUSUAL HOUR THE RADIO HAS EVER OFFERED fi‘ Byrd haops off/ to the Byrd's I~ lloml:r The gallant Commander “Dick™ Byrd, America's greal- est explorer, sets out for the South Pole, Tune in on the station nearest you @ New York WEAP WEET a Boston a Hertford i | o Portland @ Philsdelphis b Washington o Schenectady «B et} © Chieage A%, Louis W TAsoM ! «Rud UP o -THE N N SUPPLY STORE AND GET ME FouR DIFFEREAT BRANDS OF CIGARETS! «T'M GOING -To “TRY -THIS BLIMDFOLD -fes T, BY JOUE, JusT FoR MV OWA SATISFACTION —OF COURSE ALL OF THE GREAT MOVIE STARS,+ BALLPLAYERS «RADIO ANMOUNCERS,«« MAGICIANS, AND WHATNOT ARE GIVING DEMONSTRATIO! \JBUT I PREFER -THE EXPERT VERDICT oF AN EXPLORER, EGAD! vane AN EXPLORER NaT ol FINDS -THE GOAL BY SIGHT, < BUT ALSO SMELLS THE WAY, AS WELLY, e /80 expERT OPINION = © 199, oy ma sEwviCE, W Loading up with VEEDOL, the fougher, heavier-bodied motor ofl chosen to lubrieate Byrd's tri-motored Ford plane, The Floyd Bennett, on its flight to the South Pole, Y EEDOL ™ OIL Made 100% from Pennsylvania and other ParafSne Base Crades WHEN COLUMBUS WAS COMIN'-To DISCOVER DIS CoulTRY, HE WAS uP I A twirl of yourdial, . . and you're at the dock where Commander Byrd and his companions are making ready for their Polar voyage.
