MOVING IN with long right to his bleeding opponent, Gene Fullmer (right), Utah mid dleweight, leads all the way "to score unanimous 10 -round decision over Charles Humez, European champion, in Madiso.i Square Garden feature fight. (International Soundphoto) Willie Pastrana, Chuck Spieser Tangle Tonight New Orleans (U.PJ Dazzling Willie Pastrano and slugging Chuck Spieser, a pair of fighters with championship stars in their eyes, meet tonight in a 10-round bout that will be televised na tionally. Pastrano hopes his shifty feet and flicking fists will carry him a notch closer to the vacant heavyweight crown. Spieser can continue on the road to a shot at light-heavy title holder Ar chie Moore with a win. It will be the third meeting of the two. Pastrano won a deci sion in Chicago in their first match but the second ended in a draw. That was just this past January down in Miami. A iormer Michigan State and Olympic team boxer, Spieser depends on a two-fisted attack from all angles while New Orleans-born Pastrano counts on speed both in his feet and fists. Pastrano has been included in the heavyweight elimination picture, but a loss to Spieser would probably leave him on the outside looking in. While Spieser's ambitions may not suf fer such a setback because of a loss to a heavier boxer, it would be a blow to his title hopes.

S. in the production of coke. By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Three big leaguers were dec orated with smiles and three others with frowns today as the baseball season reached the Memorial Day milestone. The guys with the extra big grins on their kissers were Gus Bell and Brooks Lawrence of the Cincinnati Redlegs and second-stringer Harmon Killebrew of the Washington Senators. Those with the disappointed look were Ted Williams and Willard Nixon of the Boston Red Sox and Dale Long of the Pitts burgh Pirates. Bell, perhaps, was the happi est of all. He drove in seven runs with three home runs and two singles to lead the Redlegs to a 10-4 victory over the Chi cago Cubs Tuesday. While he was punishing Chicago's hurlers, teammate Brooks Lawrence was scattering eight hits for his sixth straight victory without a defeat tops in the majors. Clouts Two Homers Killebrew had plenty of rea son to be clicking his heels, too. He got into Tuesday's game with Baltimore only because Pete Runnels, Washington's regular second baseman, was spiked In the second inning, and then pro ceeded to hit a pair of homers that led the Senators to a 6-5 triumph. At the other end of the scale with a fellow like Williams, who was in Boston's regular line-up for the first time since last April 18 Tuesday. Even though the Red Sox defeated the Yankees, 7-3, Williams went hitless in four trips and developed a new ail ment blisters on his right heel. Nixon was the winner but he wasn't cheering at the end. He had a no-hitter for 7 23 innings only to wind up with a three hitter after Billy Martin broke the spell with an eight-inning triple. The Red Sox infield fell apart -behind Nixon in the ninth and theYanks hammered across three unearned runs, one of which was Mickey Mantle's 18th homer with one on. Long Finally Stopped Long, who had set a major league record by hitting eight s w "."- ao a -v.'S$gXsa:,Vii T RECORD RUN Jim Lea, former University of Southern California star now running for the U.

It marked the first game in which Long had failed to hit a homer since May 19. Newcombe doled out only seven hits and contributed a three-run double himself in the second inning. Randy Jackson led Brooklyn's 14-hit attack with three hits while Duke Snider collected two hits to run his hit ting streak to 18 straight games. The Chicago White Sox broke through with three runs in the 12th inning, with the help of Hector Lopez' error, to beat the Kansas City Athletic, 7-4. Jim Wilson was the winner and Ed Burtschy the loser, both in relief. LINESCORES: National League Brooklyn 040 110 400 10 14 1 Pittsburch -.010 000 0004 1 7 1 Newcombe (7-3) and Campanella. Kline.

Newk Stops Long String Of Homers By JOHN CARROLL Pittsburgh (U.R) A physi cally and mentally "refreshed" Dale Long was ready to resume hostilities on enemy pitching again today after seeing his rec ord home run streak halted at eight in as many 'successive games. But the elongated Pittsburgh Pirate first sacker was more re morseful over Tuesday's 10-1 loss . to the Brooklyn JJodgers than Jus failure to deliver homer No. 9 off Don Newcombe. ' "You know, we also lost a four-game winning streak" Long reminded all within earshot in the Pirate clubhouse after the Dodger defeat. Pretty Well 'Whipped' Big Dee, as his Pittsburgh teammates call him, admitted he was "pretty well whipped" after a whirlwind grind of press in terviews and radio and television appearances. "Man, I'm going home now and get some sleep," he said as he slipped through a passageway leading to an exit gate. Surprisingly, the talk In the Pirate dressing room centered more on losing the game than a general gossip session about Long being stopped cold In four times at bat. "Sure the boys were sorry to see Dale wear the collar," Pirate Manager Bobby Bragan said. "But it was almost anti-climactic to the .drubbing we took. The gang - was mad because they lost." Not Tense Bragan said tiredness was the thing that actually stopped Long. "He wasn't tense at all . . . he was just plenty tired. The tenseness left him after he broke the record. over in Philadelphia Saturday with homer number seven." "When Dale walked off that field today he was a perfect pic ture of a man' ready for bed," the Pirate skipper continued. "He's a guy who ;ust isn't ac customed to the fame that has been heaped upon him so sud denly after such a long wait." Bragan said Long, after play ing in a night game the previous night, had to be up at 6 a.m. Tuesday to keep a television date. Then it was more radio and press interviews before he head ed for the ball park.

Law Prohibits Removing Young Game From Wild A reminder that it is illegal to remove the young of game animals or birds from the wild was issued today by C. R. Shep ard, district game biologist of the Oregon State Game com mission. Fawn season is near at hand for deer. Shepard pointed out that it's natural for a doe to leaves her offspring unattended for periods up. to half a day. Newborn fawns are thin and this should not be considered grounds for believing they are deserted and hungry, he stated. It is also natural for a fawn to drop and lie inert at an unfa miliar sound. This accounts, Shepard reported, for fawns sometimes being found on a road or trail. Usually the doe is near by and both doe and fawn were using the road or trail when the noise occurred. The fawn can be removed to the side of the road out of harm's way and left alone, Shep ard said. After human beings have left, the fawn will rejoin its mother. Motorists are instructed to notify state police in event a doe is killed by a car. The fawn will be picked up by authorized per sons and cared for. Going camping this summer?
