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.

Gus Bell Drives in 7
Runs as Cincinnati
Wallops Cubs 10 to 4
Alabama ranks second in the
U. 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

home runs in as many games, fi
nally was stopped by Don New
combe as the Dodgers snapped
the Pirates' four-game winning
streak with a 10-1 triumph.
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.

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.
BRAVES INK PLAYERS
Milwaukee (U.R) Bill Moss,
an 18-year-old outfielder-pitcher
from Tulsa, Okla., and Dave
Centi, a 19-year-old pitcher from
Elmsford, N. Y.. have been
signed by the Milwaukee Braves.
Moss reports to the Austin team
of the Texas League today,
while Centi will be assigned to
a team in a few days.

competing with the Jackson

was formerly the Ashland speed

Coy went to Crescent City, Calif,
recently and nearly made a
clean sweep. At Klamath Falls
he took the trophy dash, heat
race and the main event but had
some bad luck and did not win
the final heat. Saturday night
he'll be out trying for a clean
sweep.
Bernie Miller has announced
his intention to be on hand. He
was second to McCoy at Klam

to be in the first spot, not the
before. Saturday night will see
lots of cars and drivers trying
it with the toughest test they
can, a full evening of hardtop
racing.

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.
