Harry (Jack) Bishop (born Ernest B. Christian) was the brother of fellow Tacoma boxers August (Augie) "Butch" Christian, Leo Christian (Leo Bishop), and Neil Christian.
Early on he fought as Young Christiensen or Kid Christiensen. He was also known as Young Bishop, Jack Bishop and Harry Bishop in the Utah area during the early 1910s. (The March 12, 1911 Salt Lake Tribune had called him the "Pride of Ogden." [1])
The July 16, 1912 Tacoma Daily News (Tacoma, WA, USA) reported that Ernest Christian had recently returned from Salt Lake City, where he had boxed under the name of Harry Bishop. The November 30, 1912 Seattle Star reported that a Salt Lake City lightweight boxer named Harry Bishop had arrived in the area. [2]
The January 30, 1913 Tacoma Daily News also confirmed that Christian often fought as Harry Bishop. The March 28, 1916 Tacoma Daily News tells of how Seattle promoter Dan Salt had given him the "Harry Bishop" name.
