'hare and hounds' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'daily pursuit' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'paper' (newspaper).
'pursuit' becomes 'chase' (synonyms).
'paper'+'chase'='PAPERCHASE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paperchase that I've seen before include "bureaucratic procedure" , "Bureaucrats' delight" , "sheet-handling process" , "Race" , "running game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
