MAY I 8 P.M. The tactics that worked as the New York Rangers scored surprise playoff victories over the Kings and St. Louis Blues didn't work against the New York Islanders in the opener of the semifinal round of the Stanley Cup atUniondale.N.Y. The key to the Rangers' success in the first two rounds was to put inVnse pressure on the opposition's defensemen.

In those series, however, they were up against inexperienced players who kept coughing up the puck in their own end. ATLTT Tilnnffp But it was a defenseman iVJiy riliyUJJS -and a former Ranger at that Mike McEwen, who led the Islanders to a 5-2 victory in the first game of the best-of-seven series. McEwen, a Ranger until traded to Colorado in 1979 in a deal for another defenseman, Barry Beck, scored a goal to tie the score at 2-2 at 4:50 of the second period. Then, less than two minutes later, he assisted on the goal credited to John Tonelli that turned out to be the game-winner. McEwen, playing on the power play in place of the injured Stefan Persson, took a pass from Bryan Trottier off a faceoff and fired a 35-footer for the tying goal.

Then, he fed the puck to Butch Goring for a three-on-two break shortly thereafter. Goring fired the puck into the corner, but it caromed out in front of the net, hit Tonelli's skate and went into the net. The goal that made it 4-2 was also a lucky one. This time Tonelli, nearly six minutes into the final period, picked up a loose puck in front of the net and knocked it off goaltender Steve Baker's body into the net. By this time the Islanders had the game well under control and rookie Billy Carroll turned the game into a rout with his second playoff goal.

The Rangers, fresh from their win over St. Louis, came out charged up and dominated the first period, using the tenacious forechecking and pressure tactics that worked so well. Goals by Anders Hedberg in the first period and Ed Hospodar in the second gave the Rangers temporary leads. Minnesota 4, Calgary 1 Tim Young scored one goal and assisted on two short-handed goals only 24 seconds apart during the same penalty to thoroughly subdue the Flames in the series opener at Calgary. The North Stars held only a 2-1 lead with less than two minutes remaining in the second period when Brad Maxwell was whistled off for tripping.

With 12 seconds left in the period, Young stole the puck from the over-eager Flames, who were desperately trying to score the tying goal, and sent Gord Roberts in alone for a goal. In the opening seconds of the last period, Young stole the puck and fed Al McAdam for another short-handed goal and the Flames were done. -DANHAFNER A1S0 THIS WIEK CMCM0T0CR0SS I NASCAR STOCKS Challenging Course I Grand American Apr. 30, 7:30 P.M.

DUMB, OHItlml Car Of Atfl Para WHfRl THf HARBOR SAN DICGO AND 9) FRUWAYS Mlfl Wills Suspended Two Days, Fined for That Doctored Batter's Box Seattle Marlneri Manager Maury Willi was suspended for two games by the American League for "doctoring the batter's box" for last Saturday's game against the Oakland A's in the Kingdome. Bob Fishel, assistant to American League president Lee MacPhail, said Wills also had been fined an undisclosed amount of money. "I'm shocked and dumbfounded," Wills said. "This has never happened to me in 22 years of baseball." Wills said he could have appealed the suspension but said he thought it better to sit it out. "There are a lot of other tricks of the trade," he said, "such as tilting the baselines.

But this one is in the rule books." Before Saturday's game, Oakland Manager Billy Martin noticed something odd about the size of the batter's box and notified umpire Bill Kunkel. A measurement was ordered and the box was found to be seven feet long, one foot over the prescribed size. Wills said he ordered the alteration because the A's had complained in the previous game that Mariners outfielder Tom Paciorek was stepping out of the batter's box.
