Ralston was in the other corner, but Tanner didn't seem to glance that way very often. Vilas could not break Tanner's serve in three sets, and when the lengthy tiebreaker was over, Tanner indulged in a brief emotion, whacking his racquet on the top of the net. Then quickly he was open-faced and amiable Roscoe again, more of his native Chattanooga, than his adopted home of Santa Barbara, or his resort sponsor of Kiawah Island, S.C. Now it is Borg's turn.

Borg lost two years ago at night, when Tanner's serve presumably was a major advantage; Borg won in the daylight last year. But Tanner said Tuesday that he prefers daylight just as Borg does. "I have a slight case of astigmatism," Tanner said. "I don't see that well at night I also don't like it at night because I hit a slice serve and the ball comes right back out of the scoreboard lights." Maybe the best way to pick a winner in this one is to flip a coin. Sometimes that is the only way to hit a Roscoe Tanner serve, too.

By George Vecsey N.Y. Times News Sen ice NEW YORK When Roscoe Tanner was 15 years old, he was short and fat, by his own admission. The next year he grew eight inches, and with therrf came the gift With a compact 6-foot frame suddenly at his disposal. Tanner could serve a tennis ball faster than anybody his age. In the 13 years since he was 16, Tanner's serve has caused galleries to gasp, has sent balls crashing into ground-level scoreboards and bruised innocent officials.

His serve was once timed at 155 miles per hour. But Tanner is still measured as an opponent who must be hurdled. He is like the electrified third rail in the subway station: you can get where you're going if you don't fall on it. Bjorn Borg was electrocuted by Roscoe Tanner in the quarterfinals two years ago at the United States Open one of the major burns Borg has suffered in the only gap in his career. Last year Borg beat Tanner, and now they will meet again in the quar- says he began to think about staying home.

"You just get weary," Tanner recalled. "You get tired of being home only four or five weeks a year. My wife and I began thinking about having a family. But I still enjoy playing tennis and I decided to give it another chance." Tanner won a tournament this year in Philadelphia and has had other good moments including Tuesday against Vilas. Even in his one superb season, Vilas always seemed vulnerable, forcing himself to suffer in public.

Tuesday Vilas stood six feet behind the baseline and tried to guess where Tanner would aim. Sometimes Vilas would guess wrong and the ball would hit yards away from him. Other times Vilas would be in the correct corner but totally miss the ball or shank it off the glass of the new courtside restaurant. Sometimes Vilas, the Argentine, would mutter in one of his half-dozen languages. Other times Vilas would glance at his mentor, curly-haired Ion Tiriac, who gave intricate hand sig Vilas's problem was that he had to meet Tanner on Main Street at high noon instead of in a library.

In 1977, the poet won 50 straight matches, most of them on soft European courts, but the hard surface at Flushing Meadows favors the brutal serve of Tanner. "On this surface, you take your chances," Vilas said later. "You do what you can. When Roscoe is hitting like that, he should be No. 1." Tanner has never won a major tournament.

He can overpower anybody one day but lose the touch the next day. "In junior tennis I could hit harder than anybody my age," Tanner said. "But in the pros, if you just try to serve hard, they will return it on you. And if you reach back for extra speed, you get in trouble. It's like a golfer.

He hits a good drive and says to himself, 'If I could just hit it a little Or a baseball pitcher who tries to muscle the ball a little faster. It just comes in straight." Tanner has seen it happen to him. He says the fastest he ever served was to Jimmy Connors in a victory in a Wimbledon quarterfinal in 1976. He isn't sure if he has lost any velocity but he is sure that Victor Amaya, Hank Pfister, John Sadri and Butch Walts all hit harder than he does. "Speed isn't everything," Tanner said.

"The good thing that makes a serve is timing and placement John McEnroe can serve into a 30-foot area, and you cant cover both sides. John is very deceptive. How are you going to do.it against him?" Four years ago Tanner realized, that he needed more than his patented left-handed serve, in which he smacks the ball at the top of his toss rather than waiting for the ball to drop slightly. He began using Dennis Ralston as his coach. "Dennis made me train harder, move more quickly on the court," Tanner said.

"Dennis organized my game for me, made me more versatile." In 1979 Tanner reached the final at Wimbledon before losing to Borg in five sets, stopped Borg under the lights at Flushing Meadows and won two tournaments. But last year he was a perennial quarterfinalist, and he 9 Roscoe Tanner terfinals at 11 a.m. today. Tanner's match Tuesday was a classic tennis confrontation, even if it took place in the round of 16. He played Guillermo Vilas, an Open champion only four years ago, now slipping slightly backward.

Tanner and Vilas are rocketing toward the age of 30 with the velocity of Tanner's serve, and only one of them would survive into the quarterfinals. The gun-slinger beat the poet, 6-4, 6-2, 7-6, with a 28-point tiebreaker. take on Snipes Larry Holmes 1 1 i ii i -44 gcain measure of American League revenge Rangers go wild in 9th OAKLAND (AP) Bill Stein's three-run homer highlighted a seven-run ninth inning as the Texas Rangers scored a come-from-behind 9-4 victory over the Oakland A's Wednesday night. rodicans BALTIMORE (AP) Rookie Von Hayes, one of five Cleveland batters with two or more hits, drove in two runs as the Indians defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 8-5, Wednesday night The Indians, beaten 9-2 and 14-5 by the Orioles in two previous games, took a 7-0 lead before Terry Crowley clubbed a three-run homer in the fifth inning off Bert Blyleven (11-6). Blyle-ven left after seven innings because of a stiff shoulder, scattering four hits.

Ifayes walked during Cleveland's three-run outburst in the second against Steve Stone (4-5) and hit run-scoring singles in the fifth and seventh. Every Cleveland starter except Miguel Dilone, who left the game in the sixth because of a sore thumb, contributed to the 15-hit attack and seven, different players had a RBI. KC hammers Angels KANSAS CITY (AP) Willie Wilson had three hits and John Wathan, George Brett and Hal McRae each collected two Wednesday night as the Kansas City Royals whipped California, 7-3, and handed the staggering Angels their sixth straight loss. Renie Martin (4-5) picked up the victory in relief. He entered the game with two out in the fourth after lefthander Larry Gura, who had a 2-1 lead, dislocated the little finger on his pitching hand fielding a grounder.

The purses for Holmes and Snipes won't be set until promoter Don King can assemble either a cable or network television package and a definite site for the bout. But it's a cinch it won't come close to the kind of income Holmes-Coo-ney will generate when that fight is held, probably next March.

"They're willing to pay me $10 million to fight Cooney," he said. "What's the difference between him and Snipes. Who has he fought? The only difference is the color of his skin. "Nobody can beat me," he said. "I'll beat Snipes and I'll beat Cooney.

Then I'll beat Mike Dokes and Greg Page and I might even wait around for Marvis Frazier and Tony Tubbs. I'll give everybody an opportunity. Just bring the check and their body." Remarks prompt PiersaWs ouster CHICAGO (AP) Jimmy Piersall, the controversial broadcaster of the Chicago White Sox, was suspended indefinitely by the American League club Wednesday night because of remarks he made about players' wives during a television show club officials said. "It was another incident in a series of incidents, none of them involving baseball but which nevertheless was an embarrassment to our organization," said White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. Piersall had stayed off the air Wednesday night at the club's request while Einhorn and Reinsdorf decided what to do about the latest controversy involving the former major league baseball player.

Thomas Robison. sports producer for WLS-TV, which aired the program Sunday night, said Piersall had remarked, "Each ball club should have a clinic once a week for wives because I don't think they know what baseball really is." According to Robison, Piersall, using a slang term to describe the wives, said they were women "looking to get married that want a little money, a little security and a big, strong-looking ballplayer." Family1 presence spurred Cedeno ATLANTA (AP) Houston Astros first baseman Cesar Cedeno, who charged into the stands after a fan allegedly called him "killer," said Wednesday he probably would have ignored the heckler if his family had not been at the game. Cedeno was ejected after the the first-inning incident in Tuesday-night's game against the Atlanta Braves and has been suspended indefinitely by the National League. "If I had been here alone, I probably would not have reacted that way," said Cedeno. "But my family is with me on this trip.

Cora (Cede-no's wife) has been subjected to the same language and treatment. She was near tears. I don't think any man would want to have his wife hear people call him that." Cedeno has been sensitive to such name-calling because he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and fined $100 in January of 1974 after the fatal shooting of a 19 year-old woman in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
