Open tennis championships. Since 1965, when ABC first became involved with the Indianapolis 500, America's premier auto race has been presented on a delayed basis. Since 1971, the network has had same-night coverage. Beginning next year, however, the Indy 500 will be telecast live. Roone Arledge, ABC's president of news and sports, and Joseph Cloutier president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, announced Monday that they had reached a three- year contract for live coverage, starting May 25, 1986.

Both ABC and the Speedway were concerned about declining ratings in recent years. And another network had approached Cloutier about televising the rnpp Cloutier expressed respr- vations about the effect on gate receipts of going live with the race. "If you have a real good thing and everything is going right, there is a hesitance to change things," said Cloutier. "It has been growing as fast as we could keep pace of it. It's possible we could lose the asset of no longer being the place to be.

We're not going into it with full confidence." Cloutier's concerns were partially satisfied by ABC, which agreed to black out all of Indiana. Cloutier noted that ABC is clearly defining next year's race as the first on network television. That's because the Indy 500 has been shown live in Indianapolis. "It was either 1947 or '48, in that area," he said. "The first local TV station in Indianapolis was getting ready to go on the air.

It was a big rush act to get ready in time to televise the race." Olson lifts Mets past Captains By The Associated Press Dave Magadan raced home from third base with the winning run in the 12th inning when Greg Olson executed a perfect suicide squeeze bunt to give the Jackson Mets a 3-2 Texas League baseball victory over the Shreveport Captains. In other Texas League action Monday night, Arkansas defeated Tulsa, 6-2, Beaumont edged Midland, 4-3 and El Paso whipped San Antonio, 8-3. Magadan singled in the 12th, moved to second on a single by Barry Lyons and advanced to third on a sacrifice by Randy Milligan. Keith Miller was then intentionally walked to load the bases and set the stage for Olson's bunt. Everett Graham had his 12th homer of the season for Shreveport in the third inning.

Tom Burns, who has given up one run in the last 32 innings and only two runs in the 45 Innings he has pitched for Jackson this season, was the winning pitcher. He is 7-1. The loser was Kernan Ronan, 5-1. Willie Lazado's double highlighted a six-run fourth inning for the Arkansas Travelers as they defeated the Tulsa Drillers 6-2. The Travelers got singles from Bob Geren, Tim Wallace, Jose Rodriguez, Mark Dougherty and Gotay Mills in the fourth inning outburst.

Expos starter Bryn Smith had shut down New York on three hits through the first seven innings extending the Mets scoreless string to 17 Innings. But he was removed for pinch-hitter Scot Thompson in the seventh and Tim Burke, riding a team- record-tying eight-game winning streak, relieved.

With none out Heep drilled a double into the right-field gap, a place, he said, "where I couldn't have hit it any better." Heep then moved to third on a groundout to second base by Len Dykatra. With Montreal center fielder Herm Winningham playing shallow against Backman, who is not considered a power threat, the second baseman drove a pitch over Winningham's head. The double allowed Heep to coast home with the winning run. "That's a situation most hitters should thrive on, and I don't mind being in it," said Backman." "I knew the wouldn't give od bot or Record broken in city tourney toothache and a loss on my birthday," said Darling who turned 25, an event the Mets celebrated with helium balloons around his locker.
