no The Boston Globe Friday, September 7, 1973 HUD COLLINS Time waits for no man except, maybe, for Rosewall yi tW'vC FOREST HILLS, N.Y. When Ken Rosewall first showed his un-aging face in ghastly downtown Qucenj at Forest Hills John Newcombe was a second-grader in grammar school Frank Sinatra was making those stiletto backhands with which Rosewall liquidated him in the 1970 semis. "But, like everybody else I marvel at him He's hard to play against because he has that sad little boy look and everybody is with him. At Wimbledon in the 1970 final when I beat him, the only people clapping for me were my wife and mother-in-law." Like hell. The mother-in-law, like all women Rosewall's age, was sneaking a clap for Kenny.

timing, the perfection, the withering, aggravated look when fate has shafted them: in Rose wall's case, missing a backhand. They are monuments in the business of entertainment. But Rosewall will go beyond 39. I think he'll still be winning in 1984 and then we'll know who Big Brother really is. Newcombe no longer idolizes.

"Sometimes I'd like to kick the little bastard." says Kewo, who well remembers trying to beat bigger men may have pushed rr.e this far. I've been trying to beat the bigger guys all my life." And he has. "But I think I'm more realistic now than I was, say, five years ago. I try hard, but when I don't win, it doesn't go so hard on me." It's appropriate that he'll soon catch up with Jack Benny. I'd love to see them fighting for a check.

What a display of non-aggression that would be. They both have their millions buried in a vault. They have the a comeback chasing Ava Gardner Elvis Presley's pelvis was merely a bone and had not yet become a global phenomenon the most celebrated dog in the world was named Checkers (did his master bug Checkers's arfs and growls?) and at the top of all the war charts was Korea. It was 1952. "You could see the Empire State Building all the time.

No smog," recalled that regal relic, Kenneth Robert Rosewall, who is gun Kodes downs Pilic in quarterfinals; Smith wins KEN ROSEWALL that dynamite southpaw serve, his 6-3 body flowing with it. Kodes managed yet another backhand, but Pilic was at the net for a backhand volley. He angled the ball. He seemed safe once again. However, the yellow sphere floated a little too far.

"One millimeter one millimeter from the semifinals," growled Pilic. where he's favored to move to his second fctle. As he arrived at match point while ripping up Onny Parun (6-3, 6-3. 6-2), Smith was hit in the right ear by a hard, errant throw by a husky ballboy from Hyde Park, Mass. (ah yes, the local angle).

"I didn't mean it, I felt awful about it," said 18-year-old Kenneth Morgan, a 6-3 sophomore at Holy Cross. Smith, who couldn't hear out of the ear for a while, told Morgan to forget it. the plot was instigated by Parun, it was a little late," grinned Smith, who promptly baihed an ace to end the match. Smith opposes his pigeon on the 1971 final, Kodes, tomorrow, while Ken Rosewall goes against John Newcombe. By Bud Collins Globe Staff FOREST HILLS.

N.Y. "One millimeter!" groaned Nikki Pilic. "One millimeter I am from beating him. I play three hours to miss that volley and lose by one millimeter." It wasn't quite that close. Maybe an inch-and-a-half was the distance the tennis ball sailed wide on the sideline, ending Jan Kodes's five-set quarter final victory in the US open a battle of fierce shots and fierce stares between two Eastern Europeans who aren't crazy about each other.

Despite the animosity that radiated from the h.ot, humid court, nobody got hurt. The only casualty was Stan Smith, who also made it to the semis, from Rosewall and Rod Laver, who've won everything else worth winning, took a step toward their first US Doubles championship together by snuffing Tom Gorman and Paul Ramirez in a couple of 5-4 tie-breakers, 6-3, 7-6, 7-6. Their final round foes today will be either John Davidson or Tom Okker-Marty Riessen. Jan Kodes, Czechoslovak, has Nikki Pilic, Yugoslav, to thank for his current standing as Wimbledon champion. Because of the ILTF suspension of Pilic, the union boycotted Wimbledon, and Kodes took the title he probably couldn't have won otherwise.

But Jan didn't act grateful, winning 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 3-6, 7-5. He kept ripping backhand returns, and leaping for angled volleys that left Pilic noon. But whenever the sturdy Czech seemed ready to finish the Dalmatian lefthander, Pilic surged back behind thundering serves and marvelous backhand blasts of his own. As they came, down the stretch into the fifth, the shotmaking from both was sensational, whipping up the Forest Hills audience of 10,000. Pilic, who whacked' 17 aces throughout, was always in a hole but he aced himself out.

V.c from 0-40 at 2-3 with screaming serves, and had saved seven break points up to 5-6. "I was all right then. Two points from tie-breaker at 30-15, and in tie-breaker I would have five serves to his four." But Kodes rammed one of his fine backhands past Pilic for 30-all, and Pilic flubbed a volley to 30-40. The Yugoslav fidgeted, paced a bit, then unleashed JAN KODES reaches semis Today the chickies have the grassy stage, the juvenile lead, Chris Evert, seeking to repeat her Wimbledon semifinal triumph over Margaret Court, while in the other half are Evonne Goolagong and Helga Masthoff. BASEBALL ROUNDUP slightly behind all after ning for two titles in the US Open as he edges up to Jack Benny's age.

Today, in the doubles final, Rosewall will attempt to carry sagging Rod Laver to the only major title Laver has avoided: The US Doubles. Tomorrow, Rosewall will be in the singles semis against a 29-year-old man named Newcombe, a fellow resident of Sydney, who idolized Kenny the year Rosewall won his first US Singles, 1956. Hank Aaron is chasing a dead man. Kenny Rosewall, the Docmsday Stroking Machine, is pursuing a (lively little man named Rosewall. The longevity records are his.

A 19-year spread. First major titles: The Australian and French in 1953. Most recent: The US in 1970 the Australian in 1972. He's been on top practically longer than Queen Victoria. If he can beat Newcombe, and then either Jan Kodes or Stan Smith, Rosewall will be the oldest champion in the tournament's history, two months short of 39.

Every game has geriatric freaks: Snead, Blanda, Johnny Green, Kalinel Gordie Howe. Rosewall is different. Every time he plays he has to do all the running by I himself, miles of it. All the shots must be made with his bright arm, thousands of them. "Ah, yes, I guess I'm exceptional," concedes Rosewall.

From him that statement is tantamount to egotism and arrogance. But, of course, both qualities are foreign to him. "I'm resting more now between tournaments. It's been my life and it goes on maybe my wife doesn't like it so much but that's pro sport, isn't it. "I may have lasted this long because of my size (5-7, 137).

I can curl up omfortably in an airplane seat. We spent a lot of our lives on planes. Not like when I started. No jets. Three days and two nights from Sydney to London.

"First time in America, 1952, we got $7-a-day spending money from our captain, Harry Hopman. We used to sell extra rackets to fans to make a few more shillings. But we never thought much about money," says Rosewall, who has made more than a million from playing since becoming a pro in 1956. "That year Lew Hoad and I caused quite a stir here. On the same day (fourth round) Lew beat Art Larsen, the 1950 champion, and I beat Vic.

Seixas, the No. 1 American seed. We were 16, and we'd beaten the two best Americans." Hoad retired some time ago with a gimpy back. Over the last two decades, Rosewall has become as beloved at the Forest Hills stadium for his impeccable strokes as the royal executioner was for his stroke at the Tower of London in the old days. One of the prizes of yet another new generation, 19-year-old Vijay Amritraj, was "honored" to' get the Rosewallian treatment in the quarters Wednesday.

"He told me, without saying a word that my serve must improve," said Amritraj, passed and pierced by innumerable of rfLh'ose magnificent returns. Rosewall feels "the psychology of being a little man Dodgers lose seventh straight, 3-2 WHOL From Wire Services Fred Kandall singled home Dave Roberts with the decisive run in the sixth inning and the Padres handed the Dodgers their seventh straight loss, 3-2, last night at Los Angeles. The defeat dropped the slumping Dodgers 2 games behind the idle Reds in NL West. Vida Blue combined on a seven-hitter with two relief pitchers as A's added a half-game to their lead in AL West with a 6-4 decision over the Angels at. Anaheim.

Chris Chambliss smashed two home runs one a grand slam during the sevem run fourth inning as the Indians clobbered the Tigers, 10-4, at Cleveland, dropping Detroit games behind the idle Orioles in AL East. Chambliss's first homer, a solo shot, came off loser Woodie Fryman (5-10) in the first inning after the Tigers had taken a 2-0 lead against winner Dick Tidrow (11-14). Detroit added another run in the fourth before Cleveland exploded in their half of the inning. The Yankees came from behind with four runs in the eighth inning three on a homer by Mike Hegan to down the Brewers, 8-6, at New York. Lindy McDaniel got the victory, his 15th.

At Minnesota, Stan Bahnsen pitched a four-hit shutout and Tony Muser drove in two runs as the White Sox won their seventh game in a row with a 6-0 victory over the Twins. The Expos moved into a virtual tie for second with Pittsburgh in the NL East three games behind the Cardinals following a 5-3 win over the Cubs. Mike Jorgensen smashed his first career grand slam homer off loser Rick Reu-schel (12-14) for all the scoring Montreal needed. Chuck Taylor, who worked 5 innings after spelling starter- Baylor Moore, earned the victory, his first in the majors since 1971. -if j-mm fa A JJ C3LncS bouse RAlNj ATEX HOUSE PAINI WOOD.

The same conditions may account for the lack of action around Provincetown, Monomoy and the inshore island waters.

Yet Cuttyhunk boats had a real holiday splurge on big stripers into the 40-pound range. The Nantucket offshore rips were boiling with big blues while the surf was barren. Vineyard blues had been replaced by North side bass, bonito and squetea-gue all across the Sound to Falmouth. Until both weather1 and water cool off, protected harbor and shoal waters, where small bait is literally almost thick enough to walk on, offer the best bets for junior-size stripers, blues, bonito (south of Cape Cod) and mackerel (north of the Cape) which have been driven to cover by the bigger game fish. Grass from recent high course tides is a trolling handicap everywhere and dictates casting where possible.

If Caliri's line tests out at over 20 but under 30 pounds, he's the new 30-pound test class world record holder. So the record lightning can hit anywhere. SHORT CASTS Bluefish, hot weather and hotter water have scrambled the fishing picture and are likely to keep it that wsy until some sort of blow and cooler water triggers the autnmn schoo-lup.

Bluefish and striped bass apparently have learned to co-exist in' the Merrimack River's harbor section oy playing musical chairs. They shift from one side of the river to the other with almost every tide, but it's up to you to find side which fish is on. Giant tuna are gorging on endless schools of herring from Ipswich Bay to the Middlebank, but fish being seined between the Canal and Manomet are found to have nothing in them but shrimp and grass.
