Pathetic appeal helps Joe Gans lift his hopes
Eddie Graney, a longtime helper to those in need, backed Joe Gans as the black boxing star struggled with distrustful allies and a waning career. Gans rose after Graney’s support, showing renewed vigor in the ring against Twin Sullivan, while readers note Graney’s role and question whether Harford should remain involved with Gans. The piece also recalls Tommy Ryan’s risk against Fitzsimmons and a Navy-era tale of Sharkey’s medal inscription, ending with a public notice from Indianapolis about school property.
