Ken Brock, who plays at the Hamilton Elks, shot a commendable score of 75-76--151. He's eight strokes behind the leader, Howard Hendershott. 'Hank Aaron 715' Henry Aaron strode up to the plate, somehow calm despite the fact that the eyes of America were staring at him. Al Downing was standing on the mound, peering in at his catcher's signal with a i-o count. With one mighty blow, No.

44 blasted home run No. 715 to shatter the immortal Babe Ruth's long ball record and insure himself on an automatic ticket to C'ooperstown, N.Y., when he retires from baseball. Aaron's swing, which will be reproduced more times than any other sports photo, is among many memorable items found in a collector's edition of HANK AARON 71S. ARCO Publishing Company, 219 Park Ave. South, New York City, just released the hard-back edition of HANK AARON 715.

The book sells for $4.95. The book is brimming with over 120 baseball photos of Hank and the Babe. Besides being devoted to Aaron's feats, there is a special section charting Babe Ruth's 714 home runs. Personally, the photo essay on the Sultan of Swat was most appealing since Ruth has been a legend throughout my life. The section includes photos of Ruth and Lou Gehrig, Ruth with President Herbert Hoover and General Pershing, and Ruth playing Santa Claus in a role he enjoyed immensely.

Complete blow-by-blow statistics on Ruth's and Aaron's homers are listed in this souvenir edition. Several chapters are devoted to Aaron's long trek towards King of Swat, including the memories of the tying blow against Jack Billingham and the Reds in the season opener this year at Riverfront Stadium. This book is sure to be a real collector's item. Former Red Menke retires as player Trevino tired of golf, would like 2 years off LYTHAM ST. ANNE'S, England (AP) Golf is no longer a laugh and a lark for happygo-lucky Lee Trevino.

"I'm tired of it," says the garrulous golfer from El 'Paso, who brought entertainment to millions with his light approach to a game he played so brilliantly. "Nothing would please me more than to take two years off," he said. Trevino made his remarks after shooting a 79 in the first round of the British Open--a score that left him 10 strokes off the pace and virtually eliminated him as a title factor. "1 missed putt after putt of around three feet," he said. "I three-putted from 15 feet.

I just don't like to play any more." Trevino said he used to hit balls a day in practice. "I don't hit any now," he said. "I can't stand it." Trevino came here at the last minute to play in the Open and told everybody it was his strategy--that he always played better i a a preparation. What he meant to say was he couldn't go through the torture of preliminary practice rounds. Trevino used to regale his friends with tales of how he once played for hamburger money by hitting the ball with a taped-up soda bottle.

In recent months, they have noticed a change in Trevino's personality. He became less accessible. Sometimes he would drive a trailer up beside the golf course and never go in a loeker room.

Menke, 34, asked to be placed on the voluntary retirement list because he felt he was not helping the ball club.

He was hitting .101) in 33 at-bats and also served as the Astros' player representative. For 13 seasons in the major leagues, Menke posted a career average of .250. He was traded from the Atlanta Braves to Houston after the 1967 season and he was parl of an eight-player swap with Cincinnati after the 1971 season.

"Duff gave me a lesson a a 1 had been playing badly up until this week," said the 19-year-old pacesetter from Hudson, whose 08 Wednesday gave him a 36-hole total of 143 at the NCR Country Club. "I was duck hooking my drives. He changed my grip. I just hit the driver straight today. He's the best teacher in Ohio," Hendershott said.

Hendershott. who is mm REPORTING: Jim Murray Los Angeles Times IF I were a college football player and they wanted to hand me the Heisman Trophy, my first reaction would be to call the cops or my lawyer. On past performance, winning the Heisman has to rank with winning an all-expense round-trip cruise on the Titanic, with getting a window seat on the Hindenburg, or a room with a view at Lubianka Prison. All things considered, I'd rather have dandruff. It's not an award, it's a sentence.

Today the Heisman, tomorrow the bench. It took Roger Staubach nearly 10 years to shake the jinx. Tommy Harmon won it and they started World War II on him before he could play pro. Johnny Rodgers won it-- and25 NFL football teams passed on him. The 26th picked him so far down, it's wonder they didn't tell him to bring a broom.

Heisman Trophy winners do all sorts of important work in the National Football League. Some of them even hold for points-after-touchdown. Others are on kickoff and punt-return teams. Still others have season tickets. IT'S HARD to imagine that some guys actively lobby (or their sports information directors do) for this award for the chance to join the Johnny Latt- ners, Joe Bellinos, Terry Bakers, John Huartes, and Pat Sullivans, where they are.

Even a great player like 0. J. Simpson had to wait almost until the trophy had rusted before he found himself. So, there were a lot of people who looked for John Cappelletti to say, "Why me, Lord?" Or threaten to sue when he won the Heisman. It seemed a terrible thing to do to a nice young man with such a promising future.

There seemed a chance for awhile the Heisman might for the first time go to an offensive lineman, mighty John Hicks of Ohio State. But he got At Hueston Woods! Kiwanis Golf meet July 31 The Annual Kiwanis Golf Tournament is scheduled for July 31 at Oxford, Ohio. This year's tourney will be played at Hueston Woods Golf Course and the tee time is 12 noon. The tourney is open to all Kiwanians and friends, and many prizes will be given for this 18 hole game. Golf carts will be provided and every contestant will receive one golf ball.

A social hour after the game begins at 6 p.m. and the dinner begins at 7 p.m. Non-golfers are invited to the meal and social hour. The price of the tournament is $15.00 which includes golf and dinner. For reservations call Jim Ncff at 8925929 or Penny Hershner at WW-1353.

Heisman trophy take it away voted out of it, I guess on the reasoning an offensive lineman is already obscure enough. The Rams showed great pluck in making Cappelletti their No. 1 draft pick. The last Heisman winner they picked hardly ever got out of his windbreaker. They let him go because they needed his seat on the bench for the team dentist.

I CAUGHT up with Cappelletti at the Las Vegas Riviera Where he is playing in the Fourth Annual DeWar's Sports Celebrity Tennis Championship. I wondered if he had buried his Heisman in his back yard, or paid somebody to drop it off a barge in the North Atlantic. John shrugged. To him, it is "just another college award" like a school letter or being tapped for a frat. "If you start believing all the things they say about you at the banquets, it could create problems.

But if you keep your feet on the ground and realize its just a statue, it shouldn't have any influence on you." Keeping his feet on the ground ask any tackier -is the best thing Cappelletti does and not only on the field. When he was recruited out of an all-boys' high school near Philadelphia Cappelletti was wooed by glamor schools like the one in Florida where he was put up in a beachfront hotel, given a car to use and nightclubs to visit. He ahose Penn State, which is so far up on the hills of Pennsylvania it is monastic by Miami standards. "INSTEAD of nightclubs and high rises, you lived in dormitories. They showed it to you like it was going to be.

You get one or two kids whose eyes light up when they get the glamor rush, but most of them say, 'Hey, I want to be shown what it's going to be like once I sign up'." Cappelletti also bit the coin when the new WFL and its Philadelphia Bell 'franchise offered him everything west of Conshphocken to sign. "I figured I would be doing a lot of things for a new franchise and new league.besides playing promotion and that kind of thing. I wanted to concentrate on the game." Converse Leather Tennis Shoes or noppad UghtwoiQhl He fled the course in his spiked shoes. He didn't want to see anybody. What Trevino craves is privacy.

"I can't take my wife to a pub for a drink or to a restaurant without being bothered," he said. "I am just sticking my knife and fork into a steak when somebody comes up and asks me if I'm Lee Trevino. "They ask me how Jack Nicklaus' game is. They want to know what's wrong with Arnold Palmer and what I think of young players." Trevino'was having a ball when they surrounded him, patted him on his baek, bought him a beer and laughed at his jokes. They didn't know he was dying inside.

Trevino seems to know what he wants, and now he wants a long rest. He'll probably take it, but he won't leave golf. "Without golf, I'd be a truck driver or a brick layer," says Trevino. "I just need to refresh my interest." bogcyed the hole a ringing in three deuces on the outgoing nine holes, is not the only golfer who will be wary from now on of the 17th, and also Ihn lalh holes at the old Royal Lytham and St. Anne's course.

Johnny Miller, who was in a four-way tie at 72, ad- milted to a tactical error during play on the windswept two holes Wednesday, saying he should have played the two par-lour holes as if they were par fives. "With the wind in your face, they are definitely par is relative. I should just content myself with being patient, and play them as fives." Miller and Tom Weiskopf, who also had a 72 along with Liang Luan Lu of Taiwan and Scotish golfer David Chillas, were one stroke back of three players who were tied at 71-- Hubert Green, Peter Oosterhuis and Irishman John O'Leary. "The wind did a complete change from what we had seen during the last week," said Jack Nieklaus after posting a 74. "It turned southwesterly and it was an entirely new golf course for me." Lee Trevino, just about put himself out of contention with an eightover-par 79.
