john/z28jdPeaches Graham and Bill Maharg careers overlap each other,Graham was with the Phillies in St Louis on the day Maharg played for the Tigers in 1912
Also Julie,Maharg is a last name thats not fairly common but if you look it up online youll find numerous examples besides Bill Maharg.
The most telling difference between the 2 is the size,Peaches was 5"9 and average build,Maharg was 5"4 and known by the nickname Pudgy.When you include they both have full birth/death records(including burials) its hard to assume theyre the same person
Peaches Grahams son Jack was a baseball player for the Dodgers and Giants in the 40s and was born in Minnesota which would be an odd place for Maharg to have a kid since he always lived in Philadelphia.Maharg was a chauffeur for a Phillies player during the 1916 season,the same year Jack Graham was born in Minn.
I dont believe they are the same player but i wouldnt doubt his real last name at some point was Graham and he changed it
