EW YORK.—Kid McCoy, at six- ty-five, is twenty years older than Harry Bennett, but for many years their’s has been a Damon and Pythias friendship. Bennett, commander of Henry Ford’s mili tant home guard against labor unions, learned about fighting from McCoy. He was a sailor when Ford bought some wooden boats from the government. They threw in Bennett, along with boats, and Ford found it a good bargain. He became a personnel officer at the Dearborn plant, be coming, in time, as the years slipped off the conveyor belt, the head of the Ford “protective” or ganization. In 1932, McCoy finished a confine ment of seven years for having shot his sweetheart By this time, Ben nett had a yacht and a castle on the Huron. For old times’ sake, he gave his friend a $6-a-day job and a gold badge, explaining, plausibly it seemed, that his organization in cluded a limited number of former convicts, and that there was no rea son why it shouldn’t if they behaved themselves and did their work. Mc Coy, helping expand and direct the “service men,” now enters a serene old age, fit and vigorous, younger than his years, doing the work he likes best. Bennett was “Sailor Reese” in the years when he was a lightweight boxer in the navy. It was in 1896 that McCoy became world welter weight champion, by defeating Tommy Ryan. It was years later that the young sailor entered his New York gymnasium and told him of his ambitions as a boxer. McCoy trained Reese, without charge. It has been frequently on record in the newspapers that Reese became lightweight champion of the navy. However, this writer, scout ing information among such light weight navy champs of twenty-five years ago as Sam Robideau. Joe Fisher and Paddy Mills, has been unable to pick up his trail. Where Sailor Reese knocked off and Harry Bennett took over is equally elusive. A curtain is drawn over the beginnings of this partic ular Alger story—the story of a boy who makes good by watching a clock—to see that the other lads punch it N Carrent news reports reveal Ben nett and McCoy as working in a deep inaccessible basement of the out from under a log in the woods with lichens in his hair, but the lower jaw still working smoothly in the socket, to tell how drastic a thing it is.
