Under the compromise, photographers will be allowed to continue to shoot pictures from the pits except when players are serving. During his fourth-round match on Sunday, McEnroe argued with photographers in the pits after complaining that the whirring noise from their motor-driven cameras was bothering his service. Tournament director Christian Duxin agreed to close the pits, located about a dozen feet from the baselines on the two courts, after meeting Monday morning with representatives of the Association of Tennis Professionals. But during a lengthy rain delay, many of the 120 photographers demanded and got a meeting with Duxin, who then agreed to try to work out a compromise.

Labonte wins Riverside: Pole-sitter Terry Labonte took the lead with a quick pit stop on the 73d lap and stayed in front the rest of the way to win Sunday's Budweiser 400 NASCAR race at Riverside International Raceway in Riverside, Calif. Labonte finished 9.4 seconds in front of Benny Parsons, a fill-in for Neil Bonnett. Bobby Allison was third. Oregonians protest racing noise: With the inaugural Portland 200 less than two weeks away, area residents angered by the noise from Portland International Raceway want to force the event into the pits. The seven-member Citizen's Association of Portland has filed suit in federal court seeking to stop the "excessive" noise levels.

The group is asking for an injunction prohibiting events at the track that exceed city noise guidelines. The defendants are the city of Portland, International Raceways Inc. and Champion- ship Auto Racing Teams of Bloomfield Hills, which has signed a three-year contract to bold Indy-car racing at Portland International, beginning with the Portland 200 June 17. Rain washed out all but a few hours' play Monday at the French Open, but not before Ivan Lendl, Jimmy Connors and Andres Gomez advanced to the quarterfinals. Lendl, the No.

2 seed, demolished 11th-seeded Anders Jarryd of Sweden, 6-4, 6-0, 6-4. Lendl, still seeking his first Grand Slam title after reaching four finals, has not lost a set in four rounds of the competition. He will meet Gomez, who ousted Jan Gunnarsson, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3. No. 3 seed Connors defeated Emilio Sanchez of Spain, 6-4, and will meet Sweden's Henrik Sundstrom in the quarterfinals.

Mats Wilander's fourth-round match against No. 13 Juan Aguilera of Spain was one of several washed out by the rain, which caused a three-hour, 15-minute delay at midday. The rain returned later, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and, in all, only a little more than three hours of play was possible. When play was abandoned, defending champion Yannick Noah of France had lost a set, 6-3, to Hungary's Balazs Taroczy. Noah had won the second set, 6-2, but trailed in the third set, 0-1.

Michael Mendelson, attorney for the citizens' group, has sent out notices to 17 CART drivers planning to compete in the Portland 200, including Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears, stating they could become defendants in the case unless they notify him by June 10 that they won't take part.

Weekend additions, meeting the June 2 deadline, were Chad, Seychelles, Burma, Madagascar, Upper Volta, Jordan, Somalia, Lesotho and Tonga. Of countries in question, only Angola failed to respond.

It was not immediately known whether Angola was joining the Soviet-led boycott. A main concern, however, remains an unspecified number of African countries who are under pressure from the Soviet. Union to join the boycott. "We'll do our best to thwart that effort by the Soviet Union," said Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee. locally Lakers find new star in Rambis ACADEMICS: Senior tennis player Mary Mactaggart and sophomore trackster Sue Schroeder of the University of Michigan have been named to the Big Ten women's all- acaaemic at-large team, which covers nine sports that don't have separate academic teams.

He could score 25 points a game if he wanted to, but he passes off instead.

I'd like to think that I'm like that." PLAYOFF NOTES: Former University of Michigan star Mike McGee thinks U-M's Eric Turner made a big mistake by going hardship. McGee said Turner would have been better off sticking around for his senior year rather than making himself available to the NBA, where he figures to be "a second-round pick at best." Not much is being said about it, but the other Johnson in the series Dennis Johnson has a pain in his back that is giving the Celts a pain in the neck. Because of his bad back, DJ. can't turn quickly enough to get back on defense for the Lakers' fast break, plus he's having shooting problems. Johnson nlaved nnlv two minutes in the Free Press Photo by MANNY CRIS0ST0M0 By GENE GUIDI Free Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES Along the far wall of the Los Angeles Lakers clubhouse, squeezed between the locker space of budding superstar James Worthy and certified superstar Magic Johnson, Kurt Rambis sits in front of his cubicle, lacing a sneaker on a very tender left foot.

Twenty-four hours earlier, the Lakers had pounded Boston into the Forum hardwood. Now Rambis, a very unlikely offensive hero in Sunday's 137-104 rout, was getting ready to prepare for Game 4 of the NBA finals Wednesday night, while at the same time trying to explain exactly where he fits on this star-studded team. "I know that I don't have the God-given ability of these guys," says Rambis, gesturing toward Worthy and Johnson. "But by doing my job, maybe I can help them do theirs a little better." Usually, Rambis' job is to crash into the bodies jammed under the boards looking for a rebound. If he finds one, he's supposed to get it to Johnson so that Magic can feed Worthy for one of those flying jams.

But in Sunday's drubbing of the Celtics, Magic and his fast-breaking friends took season-high 17 points for Rambis, including seven-for-seven from the field. NOT BAD FOR a guy who is averaging 7.5 points and wears old-fashioned hornrimmed glasses and looks more like Clark Kent in a "Superman" rerun than a basketball player. "I guess I just got caught up in the way things were going," Rambis said. "Sometimes Magic sees me and sometimes he doesn't. Yesterday (Sunday) he just happened to find me.

Everyone knows I'm not fast enough to do that kind of thing all the time. If I seemed fast Sunday, it was really only an illusion. But the way Magic was going, you'd have to be a little crazy not to want to get out and fill a lane on the break. It was contagious." Even when Rambis isn't scoring like he did Sunday, the Lakers are a better team with him in the lineup. He spent the first 32 games this season on the injured list with that sore left foot and didn't crack the Lakers' starting five until Feb.

18. Los Angeles finished 21-TO after Rambis became a starter. "If I never score another point, I can do things that will help this club things like getting a rebound every two minutes or so," Rambis said.

As the Michigan baseball team boarded an airplane for its flight home Monday morning, coach Bud Middaugh lagged behind. He wasn't quite ready to leave town.

He felt his team's fourth trip in the last five years to College World Series should have lasted longer. The Wolverines lost to Cal State-Fullerton, 8-4, in Friday's first-round game and were eliminated Sunday, 11-3, by New Orleans. "It's going to be tougher and tougher to get back here," Middaugh said. "There are so many programs getting better and better, particularly in our area. Our league is tougher and teams like Indiana State are getting better.

"It's hard for the people here to realize what it takes to get to Omaha. It's very difficult to play in tournament after tournament after tournament." U-M WON the Big Ten East Division, the Big Ten playoffs and the Mideast Regional. But the process, including three days of rain in the regional, took its toll. "We're very talented," Middaugh said, "but against the people we have to beat for this championship, we came up short. This year's biggest problem was on the mound." Red Wings games will be televised on Channel 20 (WXON) for the next two seasons, the club said Monday.

Channel 20 will televise a minimum of 15 games a year. The Wings had been televised on Channel 50 (WKBD). George Williams, general manager of Channel 50, said his station decided to drop the Red Wings in part because their ratings were lower than those of the Pistons. "We decided we could only carry one team and so we selected the Pistons," he said. "We'll have 20 or more Pistons games and there were too many schedule conflicts." Williams said the Pistons telecasts drew more than twice as many viewers as Wings games.

He added that Channel 50 wanted to' clear time for possible additions to its sports schedule during the winter months. Johnson said adding Wings games to Channel 20 would increase the number of outstate cable companies carrying Channel 20. The 15-game slate is equal to Channel 50's package last season. Channel 20 also will have rights to playoff games. Jim Lites, the Red Wings' executive vice-president, said the Wings' rating last season "got off to a terrible start" but improved so that the year's rating was better than the previous year's.

But they were the only reliable starters and junior Ken Hay ward was the only dependable reliever.
