middleweight contender meets
Ramon Fuentes, fourth ranking
welterweight challenger. in Ma

Turner is in between the well

classes. He fights best at ISL as
Fuentes should very well know.
The last time they met 20
months ago, the 151-pound Phil
adelphian ended a hot scrap
with one humping right to the
chin in the fifth round. Fuentes
was only a quarter of a pound
lighter. They'll weigh about ISL

Since his loss to Turner the
Californian has won II of 13.
The last victory was a 12-round
decision over Australia's Georges
Barnes. the British Empire well

Turner. No. 10 among the
middleweights, was flattened
himself only last September by

AT THE RACES
With JOE KELLY

BALTIMORE, May 14.-One
of the hardest working officials
at the Maryland tracks is an ex-
steeplechase rider who never
leaves his chair.
It's not through any lack of
energy that George w. Walker
handles his job as clerk of the
foal certificates-official regis
tration papers of thorough
breds-from a sitting position
The story of Walker is not a
happy one, but the mans incon-
spicuous but consistent courage
and spirit is inspiring to all who
know him.
It was a pleasant autumn
afternoon at Laurel in October.

flying the silks of Thomas T.
Mott of Sandy Spring. Md. fell
heavily to the turf with George
Walker in the irons.
Walker. then 38, a strong,
well-muscled rider who was
rated as one of the country's best
through the field, did not get up.
His riding days were ended
abruptly. And there had been
some big ones, such as winning
with Brother Jones in Belmont's
Grand National and with
Ahmisk in Pimlico's Battleship
Handicap.
Although the injuries were
painful, even tougher was the
adjustment from the color and
excitement of Is years of
steeplechase competition to a
hospital bed. For two years, the
recuperation process dragged on
at Emergency and Doctors Hos
pitfalls in Washington and the
Medical College of Virginia Hos
pital at Richmond.
In talking about his recovery,
George credits his wife, Grace,
whom he married in 1899, with
making possible his recuperation
and readjustment from broken
back which paralyzed him from
the waist to his feet.
After his release from the hos
pital. Walker and his wife re-
turned to their home in the
Beverly Hills section of Alex
andria, Va, where they still
reside. ....
But all this is behind George
now. And from his manner as
he performs his tasks in the
Pimlico racing secretary Office it
would be rather hard to believe
he ever had an accident, if you
could not see his wheel chair.
