She played for the women's professional basketball team named the Caraway, Arkansas All-American Red-Heads, which had started out in Missouri. Ms. Walker left the All-American Red Heads and started her own basketball club, named Hazel Walker's Arkansas Travelers. The Travelers played up to six nights a week against men's teams.
