Correct, two different people.

Peaches Graham played Baseball 1902-1912.

Billy Maharg (Graham) was a "local club boxer" 1901-1907.

He is Maharg's boxing record:

Officially he was 4-1-4. But if you add up all his fights he was 45-11-8. Any fight with NWS after result means "Newspaper decision." Basically some newspaper reporter would render a decision in his paper the morning after fight (mainly for the appeasement of bets). As you can see, he mainly fought in local Philadelphia Athletic Clubs.

He was pretty much a bum.
