Tennis By PETER SHAW Watch out when Chris Greendale steps on the tennis court. The 30-year- old University student was declared the world's second fastest tennis ball ser- ver last August at the National Fast Serve Championships in New York when his serve was clocked at 134 m.p.h. He missed first place by only 1 m.p.h. The New Zealand native came to the United States on a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) scholar- ship and is now attending law school at the 'U'. GREENDALE CLAIMS that to serve with such velocity, one "can't hit the ball with any spin." He said the amazing serve is more natural than anything, however, and is not likely to be built up through intense practice. Chris strings his Yonex racket at a "tighter than hell" 64 pounds. With this great "nautral" ability, why did Greendale abandon the pro cir- cuit five years ago? Renowned power server Roscoe Tanner has been clocked only at a "relatively slow" 125 m.p.h. and Colim Dibly's 130 m.p.h. is the closest any pro can come to Green- dale's serve. Greendale says he was "feeling somewhat dissatisfied ... intellectually bored." He added that only about the top twenty tennis professionals are server packs really doing well financially. Greendale is much more concerned about getting ahead "on a long term basis," and this he is working on by attending law school. WITH HIS AMAZING serve, Green- dale can "peel off some aces fairly quickly" and leave his opponents swinging at the breeze, but he feels that "confidence is absolutely supreme on{. the court," and the "biggest thing is the intimidation factor." What does a man who has played competitive doubles with John Alexan- der, beaten a guy who was semi-finalist at the U.S. Open and Wimbleton and been friends with Guillermo VIlas suggest to aspiring athletes with visions of fame and fortune? Greendale, who strongly feels that everyone should be involved in athletics, said, "When a kid is good enough where he has to make a decision between whether to have a sports career, that person has to be absolutely dedicated to the endeavor. A half- hearted decision is to make no decision at all. Interested players who want to see the world's second fastest tennis ball server in action should try to catch Greendale at the Liberty Racket Club. He, tries to keep in shape there with a few friends. Just look for the court with all the scorched tennis balls lying around. a wallop Detroit suburbs still fearful of child killer BIRMINGHAM (AP)-Exactly two years ago, a killer with the macabre tag of "The Baby Sitter" claimed the first of his four victims in the prosperous suburbs north of Detroit. And although warnings continue through 13 communities, some say that time may be soothing fears that the killer will claim a fifth victim. It's been nearly a year since "The Baby Sitter"-who got the nickname because of the care he lavishes on the children he kills-grabbed his fourth victim, 11-year-old Timothy King. THE KING BOY and the first slain child, Mark Stebbins, 12, were sexually assaulted, while the other victims - Kristine Mihelich, 10; and Jill Robin- son, 12 - weren't. The' Robinson girl was shot, the others were suffocated. The victims, authorities said, who had been kept fr'om three to 19 days, were bathed, fed, and manicured. Some of the warnings issued in the last year are becoming part of daily life. Diane Benson, director of Common Ground, ascounseling center, said her 7- year-old son won't go swimming by himself, although he "certainly knows what to do" if a stranger tries to talk to him. AT THE ROYAL Oak Boys' Club, program director Richard Scheid reported that a youngster ran inside one night and reported that two strangers in a car were trying to pick him up. "It turns out the kid had thrown a snowball at the car, and they stopped because of that," Scheid says. After initial confusion, Common Ground and other organizations have settled on a simple, two-point rule for children: don't speak to strangers trying to talk to you, and run to a safe place: a house, the store you just left, the fire station you just passed. THE WARNINGS appear throughout Oakland County. A fast food chain prin- ts them on placemats; they are on the sides of milk cartons sold in super- markets; thousands of T-shirts with special slogans have been sold, and social workers and psychologists visit school classrooms. Some say the warnings may not prevent another killing. "I'm not that impressed with some of these programs," says Emmanual Tannay, a psychiatrist whom police have consulted about "The Baby Sit-, ter." "IF HE ATTEMPTS to strike, he's going to strike," Tannay said. "In the meantime, there's a certain psychic aspect to consider. "Sure, it's a dangerous situation," he added, "but if you overdo it the war- nings you may be breeding paranoia." Parents that Tannay talks to "bring the killer no less now. But the fear was like an epidemic . . . last year." Some adults speculate the killer is trying to lull the community into a sen- se of security before striking again. Others say the killer is just "tem- porarily out of order" while perhaps jailed on another charge. Superserver Chris Greendale, the world's second fastest tennis ball server, follows through on another lightning-fast swing at Ann Arbor's Liberty Racket Club. Greendale, r won the title at the National Fast Serve Championships in New York last., August.

A DICK POWELL is one of the screen's best Morlowes in the film 6f Chandler's FAREWELL, MY LOVELY. Director Dmytryk's lighting, effects, and sets visually highlight Chandler's words as Marlowe helps a mastodon-sized thug find his sweetheart. The recent remake with Robert Mitchum doesn't come close to this one. "I regard this as the most successful film adaptation of any of my novels." -Raymond Chandler. "It handles Chandler's extremely cinema-adaptable story so well that if anything, it improves on the retelling."-TIME.
