The 27-year-old Utah mau ler gave upstart Hegerle a boxing lesson with a devas tating body attack. Fullmer won every round on the judge's scorecard and was never in any danger during the outdoor contest. Wore Down Boxer Fullmer finally wore down the Minesota boxer in the eighth round when his swarming, bull-like tactics and solid body punches began to take their toll. Hegerle was a substitute fighter for German Peter Meuller. Fullmer felt his best punch of the fight was a left hook to the stomcah in the ninth round. Hegerle agreed, com menting, "I did not think I'd make the 10th round." Hagerle, who before meet ing Fullmer had upset Ralph (Tiger) Jones, had nothing but praise for his opponent. He said, "for a fighter 27 years old Fullmer has the energy and strength of a kid. He's very strong and like an animal in the ring."

MEET IN AUTO RACE Lisbon, Portugal (UPI) An all-out duel between Brit ain's Stirling Moss and Jean Behra of France could make the 10th "Grand Prix of Port ugal," one of the major auto races of the year. The event takes place July 18 in Villa Real, a quiet mountain town about 70 miles east of Oporto, "the northern capital." Sport Parade OSCAR FRAIEY Sports Writer United Pres Baltimore (UPI) The minor leagues are sitting hun grily on the sidelines at the major league Ail-Star game today wondering where their next dollar is coming from and figuring that 100 cents of it will have to come from the big leagues. "Complete subsidization of the minor leagues is the only way the minors can survive," said Dick Butler, president of the Texas League. "And I mean complete." The situation is soNIesper ate in the minors . Butler ad mits withoift equivocation that: "Under the current setup, it is impossible for the Texas League to operate next year." He also asserts there must be a "general realignment" of the entire minor league set up next year. Urges New Triple-A Butler eventually would like to see a Southern Associ ation, boosted to Triple-A classification instead of its current Doqble-A ranking, composed of Atlanta, Birming ham, New Orleans and Mem phis of the present Southern association; Houston, Dallas and possibly Fort Worth of the present "Texas League, and Jacksonville of the Sally League. "I. certainly don't know what is going to happen," he said, "but I do know we can't operate one single year more under our current mode of operation." Grayle Howlett, owner of the Tulsa club of Butler's Texas League, suggested re cently the major league clubs pay the salaries and expenses of players they have farmed out with minor league clubs. "That's not enough," But ler says adamantly. "They have to pay the whole minor league freight and if they don't there isn't going to be any minor league baseball." One major league club own er told hun recently, Butler disclosed, the majors are re signed to the fact they event ually would have to take over minor league baseball com pletely. Foresees 20 Leagues "I figure that the time will come when there, are 20 min or leagues completely subsi dized by the majors," Butler analyzes. He figures it out this wayr There are 16 major league teams and each one of them will have one farm team in Triple-A ball and one in Double-A ball with two teams in the A, B, C and D classifi cations. This runs to a total of 160 minor league teams and, with eight to a league, a total of 20 leagues. It also means there would only be two Triple-A and Double-A leagues with four leagues each of A, B, C and D classification. "The major leagues simply have to take over," Butler ex plains. "If they don't, there isn't going to be any minor league baseball. The minors simply can't keep on ever lastingly losing money be cause of the invasion of their territories by major league broadcasts and telecasts." The tragic result is .that fans in the minor leagues would rather stay home and see or hear about the Mantles, Musials and Williamses than attend minor league games. "The end result," concludes Butler, "is - that the majors will have to subsidize every single minor league team right down the line or they won't have any place from which to get their players of the future." plies with the Portland mar ket commanding the highest prices in the nation as a re sult of transportation costs. Oregon also sends laree num bers of beef animals out of state for finishing, and is a deficit state in production of broiler chicks. Rapid expansion of barley production on Oregon's "di verted wheat acres" in recent years to comply with the gov ernment wheat support pro gram has brought new oppor tunity for Oregon to get into the livestock feeding business, it was pointed out. Jim Hill, manager of the Pendleton Grain Growers, sparked a discussion with a prediction that farm sale of livestock in the Pacific North west would have to increase by more than SI billion by 1975 to fully meet West Coast consumer demands for meat. Value of production at the wholesale processing level was forecast at nearly $l, billion, adding millions in new payrolls for the state. Such a program. Hill ex plained, would call for an $818 million investment in animals and nhysical plant facilities by 1975. Modern feed manufactur es ulants, meat processing fa cilities, and efficient market ing programs were cited as keys to such expansion. In pointing" out the importance of first-class animal breeding stock. Hill said Oregon State college "should get busy now with a crash research pro gram'" toward better live stock strains and improved feeding practices. OSC department heads out lined present research under way to aid in expansion of Oregon's livestock program. Opportunities for expansion also were outlined by a panel of Oregon State college ex tension specialists. - E. R. Jackman, specialist in farm crops and range manage ment, said it is now possible through improved manage ment to increase ten-fold the livestock carrying capacity of much Oregon rangeland. He added that Oregon has 40 mil lion acres of rangeland and that animals in the range country get 70 per cent of their feed from such lands. Jackman also advised revi sion of out-moded hay grad ing methods, recommending that hay be sold on a protein basis. He said this would benefit both the livestock feeder and the producers of good quality hay. Noel Bennion, OSC poultry specialist, emphasized the im portance of efficient meat pro duction . with broilers. He pointed out that 10 to 15 years ago it required four pounds of feed to produce one pound of broiler meat. Some commercial growers are now shooting at two pounds of feed per pound of meat. Ex perimentally, one pound of feed has given one pound of weight gain. Bennion said Oregon poul trymen must not only keep pace in such efficient feeding programs but must have a cheaper source of feed than is now available to stay in competition. Wheat is now priced out of the market for Oregon poultry feeders, the specialist stated. OSC agricultural econo mist. M. D. Thomas, also em phasized the importance of a federal farm program that would permit "use of good grain land to grow grain either wheat or barley at feed grain prices." Thomas said an expanded livestock program would also call for efficient utilization of by-products and a marketing program that was sensitive to the kinds and type of meat people want to buy. Feeder Lamb Sales Popular in State Corvallis Producer-sponsored feeder lamb sales are proving popular in Oregon with three of the new "grad ing and pooling" auctions scheduled this summer, : re ports w. Y. Fowler, Oregon State college livestock mar keting specialist. Auctions sponsored d y countv livestock associations are slated July 14 at Myrtle Point, July 23 at Corvallis, and Aug. 18 at Enterprise.

Water for Mexico According to Pact Urged by Witness San Farncisco (UPI) Anacre feet can be split up among Arizona witness believes the I the Lower Basin states each siaies in tne Upper Colorado year. The rest presumably River Basin should provide Mexico with the huge quantity of water promised that coun try by its treaty with the Unit ed States. . The witness, John R. Erick son, of Santa Fe, N.M., en gineer, made this statement Monday while testifying as an Arizona rebuttal witness in the Colorado river watc r suit. The Upper Basin states are Colorado, Nevada, New Mexi co, Utah and Wyoming. Erick son oroduced figures suggest ing they deliver 1,280.000 acre feet of Colorado river water a year for Mexico. In previous estimates, Cal ifornia had assumed that wa ter for Mexico would come from the 75 million acre feet delivered in each 10-year per iod at Lee's Ferry, Ariz., for use in the Lower Basin. Erickson's computations in dicated that Arizona might seek a decree in the suit hold ing the Upper Basin states re sponsible for the Mexican wa ter. Erickson testified that 7, 400,000 annual acre feet are available for use of Lower Basin states. They are Calif ornia, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. The latter three states have rights in both basins.
