Bishop Greer.
(NeW York Times.)

(NeW ! Ork Times
 "Bishop Greer" is a shorter, sinp- Ter term than The Right Rev. David Hummell Greer, D. D., IL. D. S. T. D., Bishop of the Protestant Episco- pal Diocese of New York;" but to those who knew him it is the more appropriate designations; for, though the rector of one of the Wealthiest parishes in the country the bishop of the most prominent diocese of the church, and the close friend and fla NOred minister of many persons of high station in business, society, pub lie and religious life Bishop Greer was always a able, hardWOrking man who spent most of his time looking for things difficult to do, and doing them. Early in his episcopate he became known as "The Bishop Without Trappings,' because he adopted in his dress none of the usual episcopal habiliments, not even wearing strict clerical clothing, and in his manner was as unassum- ing and natural as the least known of his clergy.
 A story told of Bishop Greer il- Illustrates this aspect of the man. On an occasion when he was to confirm claSS, goes the story, Ccl ie' s0 was sent for him in charge of an English coachman who had been i'm ported by a wealthy American. Bishop Greer walked unaccompanied and Tn non- clerical dress from his front door to the carriage and entered It but the driver did not move ms horses. After waiting for a moment the bishop asked the man why he dld not drive on.
 I'm waiting for the Lord Blshop of New York, Sir" the proper per ! son replied.
 ''Well,'' said the bishop, Il m It, Drive on."

committing suicide for the Bridge porter, for there is not a cleaner. bet ter all around in-fighter in the coun- try than Pete Hartley.
 There is one feature about Leo F. nent and that Is the classy might CTS his proteges turn out to be. As far back as the days of Bill Fleming, Kid Alberts, K. O. Sweeney and oth- CTS Leo's men have become famous because of their masterly infighting tactics. And Pete Hartley is perhaps the cleverest of Flynn's infighters.
 It all rests on Bogash's shoulders however. If he bores in and tries to pound the Derby lads stomach at short range he will find himself in an embarrassing position, for while Louis may be a good boxer he can not be compared with Hartley when it comes to scrapping at quarters.
 Another battle that was the talk of last weeks show will be repeated next Monday. It will bring together Sapper Johnny Conan of this city, and Mickey Travers of New Haven. Decision as to the outcome of this lieve that Travers won, others who called 1t draw and still others who selected Sapper, so there you are. With each having more time in which to train, however, matters should be different.
 The "Sapper" surprised his friends There were many who journeyed to the Casino with the expectation of

but Terry Lee outbid these promot- CTS.
 Another bout that looks like the real goods and is promising of much action will bring together those bit ter rivals Louis Bogash of Bridgeport and Pete Hartley of Derby. The two have already met thrice, but the out come of these battles is doubtful. In the opinion of the writer Hartley held Bogash to a good draw in their last bout. This bout alone advertised as headliner would bring out a big crowd.
 Louis Bogash is perhaps Connecti- cuts most promising battler. He has fought practically all of the best boys in this section and what is more mas defeated most of them. His showing against Johnny Clinton last week was a most spectacular one in every re- spect and by defeating the New Tor ker he won the match with Pete Hartley. Louis, too, will go to New York this afternoon and stay there, doing his training down at Billy Grupps gymnasium.
 Bogash is a shifty chap with a good kick in either mitt. He moves around fast and is exceptionally clever in breaking away. At long range he has a good chance of defeating the pride of Derby. But to attempt to box the Derbyite at short range will be like

those behind him. He allowed the To- calls six timely and clean hits. Five Bridgeporters walked to first. Mar tin, Ray Grimes, Baker and Skiff each landed on the ball for brace of hits, Rays double in the fourth and Bills double in the third frame being the best and cleanest hits of the game.
 The Bridgeport second defence con tinued to show it's impregnable de- fence in yesterdays game. A com bination made up of Bill Martin, Hank Bracket and Mitterling seems almost impossible to beat or @ better one found in the Eastern League. Mitter- ling will in all probability hold down that position for the rest of the sea son, for he has proved himself to be cutie a capable player and consistent hitter.

seeing Conan stopped by the New Havener. However, the New Haven CTS punches did not so much as even slow down the hard fighting local lad. The two are 8 splendid match.
 Promoter Lee is at present con- templating using Frankie Wilson of Brooklyn, formerly of Bridgeport in a bout with Joe Porto of New Haven, but 1t is doubtful if Tommy Shea, the New Havener's manager, will allow his boy to be sent against such a tough boy as Frankie Wilson. The latter since leaving Bridgeport, has been headlining at New Jersey clubs where he has a big following.
 Frankie came to Bridgeport last week to see the Akorn bouts, but de- cided to stay over for a few days. He returned to his Brooklyn home yesterday but will be back today or tomorrow. Before leaving, however, he agreed to meet Joe Porto or any other good opponent thee Tub could find for him.
 Wilson was extremely popular when here. His most important battle was decided at the Akorn smoker when he met Benny Va1ger of New York. in the clever French champions ini- tiaI appearance in this city. Frankie is trying for return match and has accepted the Proto match as a means
