The eight-game bulge over Cleveland equals the Yankees' lead of five days ago. The Indians dropped a 2-1 decision to the Baltimore Orioles. Chambliss delivered the tying run with a run-scoring single in the fourth inning and doubled a run across in the fifth.

Hendricks, playing his second game in a New York uniform, put the Yankees ahead to stay with a sacrifice fly in the fourth and homered in the sixth. Ed Figueroa became New York's winningest pitcher, notching his ninth triumph with help from Sparky Lyle in the ninth inning. In other AL afternoon contests, the Boston Red Sox edged the Detroit Tigers 2-1 and the Minnesota Twins walloped the Oakland A's 11-3.

The Orioles scored on Al Bumbry's single, a stolen base, a walk to Paul Blair, a double steal, Reggie Jackson's grounder and Lee May's single. Rod Carew drove in five runs with the first grand slam home run of his career and a double as the Twins whipped the A's, who again did not use pitchers Vida Blue and Rollie Fingers and outfielder Joe Rudi. John Milner hit a grand slam home run and Dave Kingman blasted his 25th homer to pace the Mets over the Cubs as Jerry Koosman won his first game in almost a month. Mike Phillips also homered for New York while Rick Monday connected for Chicago. By GEOFFREY MILLER AP Sports Writer WIMBLEDON, England (AP) Vitas Gerulaitis knocked out defending champion Arthur Ashe in the biggest upset of the Wimbledon tennis tournament Saturday and led a four-man American charge into the quarter-finals.

Gerulaitis, 21, of New York, came from behind for a 4-6, 8-9, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory. He had never previously survived the first round at Wimbledon. The other Americans in the quarterfinals are Jimmy Connors, Roscoe Tanner and Charlie Pasarell. Ashe had been struggling all week to. find his 1975 form.

The last time a defending champion failed to make the quarters was in 1970, when Rod Laver went out in the fourth round. The heat wave intense, with the temperature reaching 106 degrees in the sunbaked bowl of the center court. Ashe, looking weary and disspirited after his defeat, said he was a victim of the heat and tension. As Ashe's game drooped in the hot sun, his opponent's punishing forehands became stronger. Gerulaitis ended the match with a series of devastating forehand returns to break Ashe's service for the last time.

"Those forehands of his were unbelievable," Ashe said. "I got three good first services in, yet I trailed 15-40." Ashe's exit left Connors, the 1974 champion from Belleville, 111., and Ilie Nastase of Romania as favorities to reach next Saturday's final. Connors destroyed Stan Smith, the 1972 champion from Sea Pines, S.C., 64, 6-1, 6-3. Nastase eliminated Onny Parun of New Zealand 7-5, 64, 6-3. Neither Connors nor Nastase has dropped a set in four rounds thus far.

Tanner, the cannonball server from Lookout Mountain, thundered to a 6-3, 64, 64 triumph over Nikki Pilic, Yu KCC Tennis Tourney Summaries hangs on for 5-stroke Western lead By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN Associated Press Writer OAK BROOK, III. (AP) Bob Dickson, winless since 1973, saw his six-stroke lead slashed to two after 54 holes but hung on while his pursuers fell back to shoot a 74 for a three-under-par 210 and take a five-stroke margin after three rounds of the Western Open Saturday. The 32-year-old Oklahoman had three straight bogies starting with the third hole and took a 39 on the front side. Meanwhile Al Geiberger made a charge with a pair of birdies and one bogey to draw up within two shots of Dickson after 27 holes. Dickson, who has not been among the top 60 money winners the last two years and lost his exemption, then settled down with a birdie deuce on the 13th.

He parred the next three holes but two traps cost him a bogey five at 17 and he salvaged a par 4 at 18 after coming out of the sand and sinking a four-foot putt for a 35. Geiberger fell back in the bright, breezy weather at the Butler National Course, taking bogies on 10, 13 and 14 to finish with 35-38-73 for 215.

Dave Stockton, with a 73, was at 220 along with John Mahaffey who struggled for a 75. One of the best comebacks was by Bobby Wadkins.

Then he dropped birdie putts of six and 20 feet and planted a wedge one inch fron the cup on the 16th for another birdie.

Carner added. Early co-leaders Ai Yu Tu of Taiwan and M.J. Smith of New Zealand slipped off the pace. Miss Tu, a leading candidate for LPGA rookie honors, went through the first nine holes one under, but wound up with a one-over 73. She fell into a second-place tie with Mrs.

Rankin at 143. Miss Smith tumbled to a 76 and a 146 total. Chako Higuchi of Japan shot a 70 the only other subpar round of the day to move into third at 145. Tied with Miss Smith for fourth were Amy Alcott and Jane Blalock who had 73 and 72, respectively. Mrs.

Rankin, playing the backside first, went out in oneunder 35 as she birdied both par fives. Carrier takes over Zaharias lead EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Fred New-house, his big smile itself worthy of a gold medal, jubilantly jogged along the track adjacent to the west grandstand at Hay ward Field. He shook hands and smiled some more. Newhouse had just finished running second to Maxie Parks, formerly of UCLA and the 1976 national AAU champion, in the finals of the 400-meter dash at the U.S.

Olympic track and field trials Friday. Parks won the race in a blanket finish, taking command down the straightaway to finish in a windy 45.58 seconds. Newhouse, who was in lane 8, was clocked in 45.76 and Herman Frazier of Arizona State took third in 45.84. Nine runners advanced to Sunday's finals, last event at the U.S. trials at Hay-ward Field on the University of Oregon campus.

Arnie Robinson, a 28-year-old San Diego State graduate and bronze medalist in Munich, earned a trip to Montreal next month by winning the long jump with a wind-aided leap of 27-5. Robinson, the 1975 and 1976 AAU champion, will be joined by Larry Myr-icks, a 20-year-old sophom*ore at Mississippi College, who jumped a wind-aided 27-1 Randy Williams, a Southern Cal graduate now from Fresno, was third in 26-10, also wind-aided. In the other two finals Friday, Lynn Winbigler won the women's discus throw with a toss of 166-2, which was below the 174-1 that gave the 23-yearold University of Oregon student the AAU title. goslavian left-hander. The American did not lose a service game.

Pasarell, of Puerto Rico, pulled off another marathon come-from-behind victory. After trailing by two sets, he came back and defeated Phil Dent of Australia 2-6, 4-6, 64, 60, 7-5. Bjorn Borg, despite a groin injury, hit top form in demolishing Brian Gottfried of Fort Lauderdale, 6-2, 6-2, 7-5. Earlier in the day, the Swede asked for the match to be postponed and even talked of pulling out if he did not get his way. He decided to play after a doctor had examined him.

Meanwhile, Raul Ramirez of Mexico beat bearded Bernie Mitton of South Africa 9-8, 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 and Guillermo Vilas of Argentina ousted the last Australian hope, Tony Roche, 64, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 64. In the quarter-finals, it will be: Gerulaitis vs. Ramirez, Nastase vs. Pasarell, Vilas vs. Borg, and Tanner vs.

Connors. Marise Kruger, 17-year-old South African starlet, led Britain's Virginia Wade 5-2 in the final set and was within range of creating the sensation of the day in the women's singles. But the hard-hitting English player rallied to win 2-6, 6-3, 7-5. Title favorite Chris Evert of Fort Lauderdale, defeated Betty Stove of The Netherlands 6-2, 6-2. It was a comparatively hard match for the American, who previously had lost only three games in three rounds.

Three-time champion Maria Bueno of Brazil, now 36, made a sentimental return to the center court after an absence of eight years. She showed much of her old-time grace and magic before Sue Barker of Britain beat her 2-6, 6-2, 6-1. In the women's quarter-finals, the lineup will be: Miss Evert vs. Olga Mo-rozova, Soviet Union; Martina Mavrati-lova, Czechoslovakia, vs. Miss Barker; Kerry Reid, Australia, vs.

Mrs. Wade, and Rosie Casals, San Francisco, vs. Evonne Goolagong, Australia. And Sheila Ingram, a 19-yearold from the Pioneer Athletic Club, won the Women's 400 in 52.69. (The 1500-meter heats were to wind up Saturday night.

Tom Duits of Hastings is scheduled to compete in one of the heats). Bruce Jenner tuned up for his second Olympic Games Saturday by smashing the world record in the grueling decathlon, scoring 8,538 points in winning the event. Fred Dixon and Fred Samara finished second and third, respectively, grabbing the other two berths in the decathlon for the Montreal Olympics. The 26-year-old Jenner, formerly of Graceland College in Iowa, was not planning to go after his own world mark of 8,524 points for the 10-event, two-day test, but he was advised after the ninth event that he was within striking distance. All he needed, he was told, was a fast run, so the 6-foot-2, 190-poun-der went after it.

His time was 4:16.4, just two seconds off his career best. Dixon, from Los Angeles, built up a substantial lead in second place and also made the team with his 8,265. Samara, of the New York Athletic Club, and three others were within two points of each other when the 1,500 began, but Samara recorded a time of 4:28.5 for 7,980 points to take the third spot on the U.S. team, ahead of Roger George, formerly of Fresno State, who scored a lifetime best of 7,930. cer field.

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio (AP) -JoAnne Carner pumped out her second straight two-under-par 70 for a three-stroke lead, but favorite Judy Rankin fired a sizzling 69 to join several close pursuers Saturday after two rounds of the $100,000 Babe Zaharias Invitational. Mrs. Carner, whose powerful driving and long iron game are ideally suited to the rolling and lengthy Tanglewood Country Club course, moved out of a three-way tie for first despite what she called a "sleepy" round.

"I never really got going," she explained after putting together four birdies and two bogeys, raising her score to 140 at the tournament's halfway point.
