Jim grew up in | comething less than average cir« icumstances, with his three brothers E—'Rnlph Joe and Jack, all olcer, jand Al, a year younger—all, ex- cept Jack, boxers. } I was a pretty wild kid, I guess,” recalls the diffident James. ““I only finished grammar school, and T can remember going on bumming trips with other kids, getting kicked off trains and having to wash plenty of dishes to get food. We got as far as Chicago, once.” James doesn't brag about his bumming days. He doesn't brag about anything, in fact. He's a shy fellow whose chief emotion right ‘now seems to be gratitude at the (hand the boxing fates have dealt | him, in the matter of a chance to earn enough money to do right by hsi loyal little family. A Beautiful Partnership’ He drifted into amateur fighting, then going strong in Newark, and, | at 162 pounds (just over the mid- dleweight limit) won both the light | heavy¥eight and heavyweight state | amateur titles in 1925 and '26. Then cne day he got into a fam- ily battle with Joe, four years his senior and a pro boxer. He licked Joe. So Joe became Jim's manager. He fought only twice under his ‘brother’s management before Joe ‘Gould came along to strike up one |of the most refreshing manager- flghw; friendships the boxing game has known. Gould came to Hoboken y | to peddle one of his fighters. In a trial bout attending the deal, James mussed up Gould’s property some- thing scandalous. So Gould sold his boy for half what he'd intended to get, then | said to James: “You need a full- time manager.” From that day to | this the Braddock-Gould alliance 3 | has stcod, with never a ruction, and | never a written contract until a few | weesk ago, when the New York commission ordered one drawn, just to kéep the record straight.
