Modern Damon and Pythias.
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
