There has been speculation that Aaron would eventually become general manager of the Brewers, the first black to hold such a post in the major leagues. Nothing was mentioned about the general manager report in Saturday's announcement. May batted .226 with 10 nomers last season.

Aaron hit .268 with 20 homers for the Braves. "This Is a remarkable transaction in many way, and it certainly is our feeling that Henry is coming home," Selig said. "We think he will be a tremendous help to our ballclub as a designated hitter and in other areas." ii i ill Now You Can Buy An Electronic Printing Calculator For Only $QQ95 OH WATCHES AARON-Jananese slugger background, watches home run king Hank Aaron warm up prior to the two-man home run contest at Korakuen Stadium in Tokyo Saturday.

(AP Wirephoto Via Cable From Tokyo) MILWAUKEE (AP) All-time baseball home run king Henry Aaron was traded Saturday by the Atlanta Braves to the Milwaukee Brewers, returning him to the city where he began the home run odyssey that surpassed the immortal Babe Ruth. Aaron broke Ruth's career home run record last April 8 when he swatted his 715th homer off Al Downing of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He hit 18 more home runs last season and will return to Milwaukee with 733 in his 21-year career. The 40-year-old veteran began his major league career in 1954 with the Milwaukee Braves and hit 398 homers with Milwaukee before the club moved to Atlanta after the 1965 season.

He said after last season that he wanted to continue playing, and that he felt he could contribute with the American League Brewers, where the designated hitter rule is in effect. "We are delighted to get a player who is unquestionably the greatest player of our generation," Brewers' President Bud Selig said as he and Braves' executive William Bar-tholomay made the joint announcement of the trade. The Brewers gave up veteran outfielder Dave May and a minor league player to be named later for Aaron, whose salary with the Braves was estimated PENN'S SIGHT SOUND Says 8-Track Stereo Tapes $2.99 2 PENN'SSIGHT SOUND 301 North 536-1203 Colorado Realtor Wins Formula Ford Race A I 1 i'j Sadaharu Oh. left defending Formula Ford champion from San Rafael, Jack Baldwjn of Atlanta and Vince Muzzin of Northville, escaped injury. In Saturday's other events, Don Dedendorf, a 30-year-old electrical engineer from Los Angeles, won a no-contest sprint for C-sedans and picked up his fourth national title since 1968.

Driving a Datsun, Dedendorf took the lead at the start and ran away from 21 other starters. His victory margin was 31 seconds over runnerup Gary Rutherford of Forge Village, Mass. in an Alfa Romeo, and third place Dick Davenport of Wichita, Kan. in an Austin Cooper. Dedendorf was the defending champ in C-sedans.

The appearance also brought Aaron $50,000 and Oh $20,000 from the CBS television network. Aaron expressed amazement at the power of the slender Chinese-Japanese first baseman for Tokyo's Yomiuri Giants.

He added, "The thing that impresses me most is how he gets his timing with his leg up in the air like that. He's a great athlete and I hope this contest won't upset him." Oh, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 180 pounds compared to Aaron's 6-feet and 195 pounds, expressed amazement In turn at how easily Aaron blasted pitches into the seats after finishing a 17-hour plane ride only 20 hours earlier. "He makes good use of his bat," Oh commented. The rule was that each player could hit 20 fair balls. Strikes, balls and foul balls didn't count.

"I've always been able to be patient at the plate," Aaron said. "I took a few strikes. I took balls I didn't think I could hit out of the ballpark. In a ball game you don't have time to make up your mind about things like that. I would like to see a home run contest with an umpire calling balls and strikes, and strikes counting as one swing." Oh had said before the exhibition that a real home run contest is almost impossible, since part of the result depends on the pitching.

Oh had Giants' batting practice pitcher Kuniyasu Mine serving up fast pitches, while Aaron had Joe Pignatano, pitching coach of the visiting New York Mets, tossing over easy throws. Oh hit the first five balls, belting three home runs, and Aaron hit two homers in his first five attempts. After another three homers by Oh, Aaron was trailing 6-2 when he took his second turn, but he tied the contest by clouting four homers in five hits. In Oh's third turn, he hit only one homer, along with two line drives and two grounders, and Aaron took a 9-7 lead. On his last turn, Oh tied it at 9-9.

His last two hits, which could have given him an 11-9 lead, were a blast nearly to the fence in right centerfield, where the distance from home plate is about 345 feet compared to the 300 feet at the foul line, and a shot off the right field wall. "I was glad I only needed one," Aaron said of his last turn. "The bat was beginning to get heavy in my hands." Wearing his Atlanta Braves uniform No. 44 and wielding a bat lent by Ed Kranepool of the Mets, Aaron hit the wall in left centerfield, grounded through shortstop, then won with a towering blast down the left field line. "It didn't prove one thing," he said later, but added, "I was happy to be here in Japan and to get a chance to see Oh perform." Until batting practice Saturday morning, he had not hit in about one month, he said.

(AP) -The economy may be hurting his pocketbook, but there is nothing wrong with real estate developer Eddie Miller's ability to win auto racing championships. The 29-year-old contractor from Lakewood, won the Formula Ford national driving title for the second time Saturday as the Sports Car Clubs of America's annual championship runoffs for amateur racers continued at Road Atlanta. Miller was one of seven class winners Saturday.

Six more events are scheduled Sunday. With seven titles settled Friday, Yancey-Sneed Take Lead LAKE BUENA VISTA, (AP) Bert Yancey and Ed Sneed combined their talents for a best-ball 63, nine under par, and moved into a onestroke lead Saturday in the third round of the $250,000 National Team Golf Championship. Sneed, winner of the Milwaukee Open earlier this year and the veteran Yancey had a 54-hole total of 189, an eye-popping 27 strokes under par on the Magnolia Course at Walt Disney World. "The psychology of this kind of an event is so much different from the regular tournament," Sneed said. "It can be that 65 is a real good score.

"On the other hand, you can shoot maybe 62 or 63 and neither one of the partners will be playing exceptionally well. By PHIL BROWN AP Sports Writer TOKYO (AP) Hank Aaron says he expects Japan's Sada. haru Oh to beat his home run record some day, but it was Aaron who came up with the nomers under pressure Satur (lay in winning a 20-minute home run contest from the swinging scarecrow." "There's no question what is 34?" Aaron said of Oh'; chances to pass his (Aaron's current mark of 733 home runs Oh now has 634 homers. "He'll probably get close to 800," said the 40-year-old At lanta Braves' star who broke Babe Ruth's record of 714 in April. Oh, who made up the "swing ing scarecrow" description of his own style of raising his right leg high into the air before he swings, blasted nine out of 20 fair balls into the seats in the contest.

But Aaron collected 10 homers in 18 fair balls and stopped there. Both agreed that the contest didn't prove world home run supremacy.

Miller, who builds condominiums and apartment complexes around Lakewood, beat Tom Wiechmann of Kent, by half a car length in one of the closest finishes thus far. The two had swapped the lead several times in a 45-mile race that included 26 starters. Miller got around Wiechmann for the last time on the final circuit of the 2.52-mile course and held on for victory. Third place went to Marty Loft of Tacoma, fourth to Dennis Firestone (no relation to the tire building family) of Marina del Ray, and fifth to Rich Shirey of Huntington Beach, Calif.

Miller's speed for the 18-lap race was a record 97.35 miles per hour the sixth new race mark posted in the early competition. "The economy, especially in real estate, is sort of soggy at the moment," the dark-haired Miller said, with a salesman's grin. "Come on back to Colorado and I'll sell you one real cheap." Miller won the Formula Ford title in 1972 and he said the competition in amateur racing as well as in real estate is getting stronger each year. "There were several drivers in my heat who could have won," he said. "But there is room for only two cars to pass at Road Atlanta, and Wiechmann and I did the lead swapping because there wasn't room for anybody else." Three of the Formula Ford cars were eliminated in a mul-ticar crash on the third lap.
