Ryan afd Reid were touring on the Coast, and Ryan had fought Gardner, Herbert and other mixers, and one night a difference arose between them. Ryan tried to slug his manager, and Reid plunged a knife into Buddy's face, the biade piercing an eye, The fighter, of course, never amounted to anything in the ring thereafter, and now he is tending bar or acting as a jallguard in Chicago, while Reid has never since cared to risk himself within reach of Buddy's many friends. Ryan was one of the most popular fighters {n the pro- fession, and there was deep mourning when he had to quit the ring. A year or so after this affair, Johnny Reid was managing one Mil- ton Kinney, a welterweight of class originally, but whose strength and value had greatly deteriorated, owing to his ing eyesight, which forced him to wear glasses outside the ring and made his judgment of distance most uncertain in actual battle. Along about this time Barney Furey, the Cincinnati lightweight, who fought Gans and@ other cracker- Jacks, blossomed out as & manager, and invited Kinney to join his stable. In the absence of Reid, Kinney consented, and Furey got him two or hree good battles, Then the knife-fighting, formidable Reid blew into Cincinnati and was going to wade in the gore of both Furey and the deserting boxer, ney Was scared to death, and hurried to warn Furey of the danger. “You can fix it up with him,” pleaded Kin- aey. “Just tell Reid you only helped me out while he was gone, and look out he doesn't cut you or shoot you.
