1 int. cvcrtino sun JULY If, 139U King hoping to sink his Bullets' shot Two years later, Teltscher still is in winning form at Sovran WASHINGTON (AP) Many pro tennis players have taken a couple of weeks off to recharge their batteries. Eliot Teltscher has taken the idea of a sabbatical to extremes. Teltscher posted a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Jeff Tarango in yesterday's opening round of the Sovran Bank Tennis Classic, his first professional tournament in 24 months. "When I stopped playing, I'd had enough," said Teltscher, whose career began to decline in 1985 when nerve problems in his serving arm forced him to skip the U.S.

Open. "I had a lot of trouble with my arm and shoulder, and couldn't play two days in a row. I got to the point where I didn't care whether I won or not. I just didn't want to play." Teltscher, once ranked as high as sixth in the world, returned home to California where he put away his rackets and "dabbled in real estate like everyone else out there; you're either an actor or in real estate." For about six months he didn't touch a racket, but eventually started playing doubles with friends. Teltscher, at 31, the second oldest player in the tourney, appeared to be in some trouble in the second set, which he lost after leading 2-0.

"I felt pretty good," said Teltscher, who faces second seed Brad Gilbert tonight. "He was hitting a lot of winners, and I figured there was nothing I could do about it." No seeded players took the court yesterday. In other opening day matches, Ramesh Krishnan of India beat New Zealander Kelly Evernden, 6-3, 6-1; Robbie Weiss breezed past Sweden's Peter Lundgren, 6-0, 6-2; Paul Chamberlin beat David Pate, 6-4, 6-4; Nicolas Pereira of Venezuela overcame John Ross, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2; and Jared Palmer beat Sweden's Thomas Hogstedt, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, 6-4. "But as far as failing, I don't think I've failed at all. I played eight years and I'm looking to play more.

I'm not satisfied with eight years, that wasn't my goal and it's not my goal." His immediate goal is to get back in the NBA and be more than a squatter on a bench. "Right now I'm in a rookie camp just trying to play well," he said. "Let's see what happens from here." He is one of 30 men with the same shot. Late this afternoon, their numbers will begin to thin. By tomorrow night, there will be no more than 12 to 14 of them left.

That group will participate in a round-robin tournament in Detroit with the Pistons, Indiana and Milwaukee, beginning Thursday. After that, the numbers will get even smaller. He is sure to get a good look from the Bullets, and not just because his brother already is on the roster. "I know what Albert King can do," Bullets coach Wes Unseld said. "My main concern was to identify guys who can't play.

I know Albert can play." If he is to play for the Bullets, it will have to be at the second guard. Whether he can open a few eyes during this short tryout, he doesn't know. "I don't believe in excuses," he Seaman overjoyed to become part of Hopkins' storied tradition said. "I have an opportunity and it is up to me to make it pay off." He doesn't hide the fact he would love to share the court with his brother, but he knows it will take more than the King name to earn a spot. "It would be great playing on the same team with Bernard," King said.

"It would be a dream come true if that happened. But seriously, I don't think about that right now, because that's not where I'm at. This is my first day of camp." To get ready for camp, King did play one-on-one with Bernard, but said he doesn't think of his brother in terms of basketball. "We deal as brothers," Albert said. "He's Bernard and I'm Albert and we're brothers, have been 30 years now we don't look at it from a basketball perspective, but we play basketball all the time.

"We're close, but basketball, it's different. We try to beat each other up. We play as hard as we can. We hack each other, we hit each other, we bang each other, but when it's over, I let him treat me to dinner. Hey, it's fun." Basketball has always been fun for King.

Even though leaving the NBA for Italy and then Tel Aviv isn't something he'd do again, King said it had its moments. "It was strange going to Tel Your money 's worth and a whole lot more.

"I know this area because I've recruited here a lot," Seaman said. "And Johns Hopkins doesn't just recruit from Maryland." Seaman is no stranger to some of the Hopkins players. Co-captain Brian Voelker, for example, worked at a lacrosse camp run by Loyola's Dave Cottle, Princeton's Bill Tierney and Seaman. "He's a players' coach," Voelker said." "He has good rapport with players. He's easy to talk to." "I can't wait for lacrosse to start again," said Townsend's son David, a reserve attackman as a freshman last spring.

"He'll do an exceptional job. I was at his camp two years ago. He's a tough coach, but he's respected." Penn finished 6-6 this year, only the second time during Seaman's regime that the Quakers were .500 or below. Seaman points out, almost as an afterthought, that 15 players missed at least five games each with injuries and that his best four midfielders played a total of only two games. Despite that, Penn won six games and had another shining moment.

The Quakers led mighty Syracuse by three goals at halftime before the eventual NCAA champion Orange awoke for a 15-12 victory. "Tony is a marvelous leader, recruiter, teacher and coach," Scott said. BULLETS, From CI lessly climbing his own personal, invisible staircase to the basket. He once brought great joy into Cole Field House, an arena now grown morose in misdeeds, investigations and penalties. "I'm not ashamed I went to Maryland," King said yesterday.

"They're going through hard times, but they'll come out of it It's a great institution." He is 30 years old. It hardly seems possible. He shook his head. "I talked to Buck last week," he said, happily recalling his best friend from college. "He has a new 2-month-old baby.

He's getting to be an old man." Yet, King seems little changed. His smile is almost always present. His brown eyes dance, as they always have, when he talks about the game. "All things considered, I have changed," he said. "If you're looking for the player of 1981, you won't find him.

I've gotten a little smarter. I'm not jumping all around the rim all the time I've learned I have to play differently, be more mentally tough and be a smarter player. Look out there. Everyone out here is talented. Everyone out here can jump and run, so you have to find other ways to beat these people." Certainly, he is mentally tougher.

Injuries, the fears that go with them, the disappointments of failed expectations. All of it has toughened Albert King. "Everyone wants to play like Michael Jordan, to be as talented," he said. "You can't go out there and try to live up to expectations. Things didn't work out the way other people or myself might have expected.

I'm not going to sit here and say they did. But I don't have any regrets. "I'm out here still trying to work hard. That's all I can do. People still have expectations, and as long as they do, that means they still have respect for you and still think you can play basketball.

"I had heard all through high school and college about the wars in Israel with the Arabic peoples. But you don't really see it in Tel Aviv. It's a major city. It's not New York, but everyone speaks English.

"I liked it. It wasn't what thought it would be. I liked it better than Italy, as far as lifestyle just, the people, the food and the way you live." But the basketball wasn't very competitive, below even European standards. Which makes King appreciate where he is today that much more. "Nothing beats where I am right now," he said.

"If Zim wants to trade walls, I'll gladly do it," Seaman said. The Ivy League forbids athletic scholarships, awarding aid only on the basis of financial need. At Hopkins, Seaman will have scholarships at his disposal. "When I recruited for Penn, I'd have to tell kids and their parents that Penn costs $22,000 a year," Seaman said. "But I did it in a low voice.

People would say, 'Penn? You mean Penn No, Penn of the Ivy League. 'Oh, I thought the Ivy League was just Princeton and "It'll be a pleasure to work with scholarships." Seaman won at Penn despite the absence of scholarships. Joe Cowan calls him a "tremendous recruiter." Cowan, an assistant on the late Henry Ciccarone's staff at Hopkins, was lured out of retirement by Seaman. So was Denny Townsend. Call them Seaman's first recruits.

"We talked to the parents of some of Penn's players," said athletic director Bob Scott. "They raved about Tony." "I was talking to the father of one kid, Danny Levy," Cowan said, referring to a former City College attackman. "Danny wavered between a scholarship at North Carolina and no scholarship at Penn. He finally picked Carolina, but Tony made the choice tough for him."
