The Reds finished two games off the A’s pace with an 11-3 slate, boasting two of the finest pitchers in the league in Ronnie Parker and Jimmy Eveland. The Reds were managed to their second place finish by John Wells. One game behind the Reds in third place were the Cubs, led by Jimmy and Eddie Price, Danny Henson, Mark McCammon, Greg Swearingen, Rodger Frye, and David Issacs, and managed by Bill Henson.

EVANSTON III. (AP> Dyche Stadium, the practice field which was headquarters tor the College All-Star football team, was a deserted arena today, and the Chicago Tribune Chanties were bereft of perhaps $200,000 after Wednesday's unprecedented cancelation of the annual game, which had been scheduled for July 26. The 41st annual College AllStar Game became the first casualty of the National Football League Players’ Association strike Wednesday when the Tribune canceled the contest against the Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins. The move came two days after the 47 collegians, in a meeting voted to play the game unless it was given some sort of dispensation by the NFL union and club own-
Most of the All-Stars were stunned when news of the game's cancelation reached them in informal workouts outside Northwestern University’s Dyche Stadium late Wednesday afternoon. Many apparently had believed an agreement could be worked out. All-Star Coach John McKay of Southern California Wednesday noon canceled a scheduled mid-afternoon workout, the first since the All-Stars arrived Sunday, apparently forewarned the decision to cancel the game

was imminent. Guard Mark Markevich of Penn State, a San Diego Charger draftee, asked a question on the minds of several players. “I’m very disappointed. But how come a decision to cancel was made so early? Why, if charity is such a worthy cause, couldn't the sponsor let this blow over for a few more days?” According to the sponsoring Tribune Charities, it had picked up the tab for transportation of more than 60 players and coaching staff members, plus room and board for three days, without any assurance of practice until the game or that it would be played. It also provided final expenses, including $75 incidental money per player and return transportation to the All-Stars’ homes or pro training camps. The Tribune Charities—NFL ’ contract provides for temporary interruption due to uncontrollable events, including a
strike. Tribune Sports Editor Cooper Rollow, president of Tribune Charities, said the contract automatically carries over for next year. Still hanging was the player union promise of $ 100,000, if the game was canceled, to match half of last season’s Tribune Charity receipts of more than $200,000. After the game was canceled, Curry said he did not know where the union would get the money, but that it would be found. Rollow said: “The 41st renewal of the game, which has produced $3.2 million for Chicago’s underprivileged children, now is scheduled for 1975." Shortly after the game was canceled, most All-Stars were en route to their pro club training camps where they face the same union picket lines they elected to honor at Dyche Stadium.

By WILL G RIMS LEY A P Special Correspondent LYTHAM ST. ANNE’S, England (AP) — Golf is no longer a laugh and a lark for happy-go-lucky Lee Trevino. “I’m tired of it,” says the garrulous golfer from El Pasco, Texas, 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. “I missed putt after putt of around three feet,” he said. “I three-putted from 15 feet. 1 just don’t like to play any more.” Trevino said he used to hit 1,000 balls a day in practice. “1 don’t hit any now,” he said. “1 can’t stand it." Trevino came here at the last minute to play in the Open and told everybody it was* his s t r a t e g y—that he always played better without advance 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 locker room. 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 1 think of young players.” Everybody thought 1 revino was having a ball when they surrounded him, patted him on his back, 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.”
Ali Says Next Fight His Last
DEER LAKE Pa. (AP) - Muhammad Ali says his Sept. 23 bout in Zaire with heavyweight champion George Foreman will be his last fight. The Louisville Courier-Jour-nal, in a copyrighted story in its Thursday editions, gives as Ali’s main reasons for quitting his desire to retire as a champ, his age and his religion. “This is my last fight," Ali
said. The last, win or lose? “Yup. But 1 ain’t gonna lose." Six weeks ago in Louisville, Ali said he would fight after the Foreman bout. But in interviews at htf training camp here over the past three days, the newspaper said, Ali repeatedly stressed his decision to quit after the September fight.
