MICKEY WALKER.
HEEDS RING CALL.
TO AID ABRAMS.
BY BOB ADDIE

It Is only bit over a year that
hickey Walker, after 13 years in
he ring, said farewell to arms.
The "Toy Bulldog" who caught
the Success Limited on one Of its
water stops in Rumson, N. j., and
hurtled to fame and fortune, is an
actor now.
But the old bugle call has Seeped
into the hot bleat of the swing
bands and Mickey will answer the
roll again today-even II it Is
Dnly for a short time. George
Abrams, local undefeated middle
weight who meets Jimmy Jones at
the Arena next Monday night, has
asked Walker for some postgrad-
Hate instruction.
STRANGE SETTING
Syd Fishel, Abrams manager,
believes Walker may be able to
lmpart some of the fundamentals
Of Mickey's magical left hook to
George. The young District mid
dleweight has won II straight
fights and is regarded as the best
prospect in the division. George
seems to have been blessed with
oil the equipment necessary to a
great fighter and Walkers curl
Osity has been excited by the glow
ing reports of Abrams prowess.
So today, before probably the
strongest group Of spectators ever
to witness a training exhibition,
Walker will don the gloves with
Abrams backstage at the Gayety
Theater, where Mickey is engaged
In songs and funny sayings"
There'll be the chorus girls-Some
like George, young and eager
to make their name. Therel be
the fat comedian and the old
prop man; the has-beens and the
never-will-bes of the tn eater
world.
Then there are those like
Walker, champions in their day,
their glory left behind on some
1ong-forgotten road, and their ca
reers in the winter of their lives.
Into this setting will walk the
kid with stardust in his eyes and
the old champ who was a part Of
the parade for. 18 years before age
melted the starch in his legs and
Tusted the coils in those short,
powerful arms that snapped such
devastating punches.
! FIGHTERS ARE BORN
Mickey believes no great fighter
who ever lived was made. No
one in the boxing business has a
keener, more analytical mind in
judging the capacity of human
flesh to be welded into a great
fighting machine.
Fighting must be instinc-
tive" Walker has told us many
times. "The little flaws can be
polished off but when a man
is in there he must have nat
ural ability and a good ticker.
If the guy Is game enough and
knows what to do at the right
time, he's home"
That's what Mickey will try to
find out today. There's no ques-
ton of Georges ticker" He
proved he was game in beating a
rough, unorthodoX fighter like
Tony Ciaccio few weeks ago. But
whether Abrams has that instinc-
tive ability will be learned today.
Old Prof. Walker will find out.
While we're about it, we may as
well mention that Mondays card
included a six-round Semifinal be-
tween Ivan Nedomatsky. former
Maryland University star, and El
Brookman, ex-Golden Gloves cham
pion. However, Walker won't be
teaching either one of these boys.
They'll have to get their instruc-
ton elsewhere.
