WALLA WALLA NEWS.
Fltzslmmons' Prayer.
Fltzslmmons, the prlzo lighter, lius
been mado somowliat of a butt, for
ridicule because in referring to his
recent defeat In the prlzo ring he
said:
"I prayed to win HiIb fight. It was
tho flrst tirifo I over prayed to win.
I lay In that room and prayed: 'Ood
give mo strength to win this battle,
and I will ho thankful'. Amen."
Thcro does seem to bo a false ring
about that. But why should It be
any more Incongruous for a prize
lighter to pruy with sporting zeal for
dlvlno strength to "slug" his adver
sary, than for a clergyman to pray
with patriotic fervor for military vic
tories? Is it so much inoro religious
