Aaron Doubtful Of Reaching Mark
MILWAUKEE AP Henry Aaron doubts surpassing Babe Ruth's career home run record this season due to needing too many games. He says he may try next year unless hot in the second half, has 19 homers and 22 behind Ruth at 714. He notes Milwaukee as home and hopes to hit 715 in Milwaukee. He criticizes Commissioner Kuhn over pitching warnings and says he plans to retire as a player next year but wants a front office role.
