Who's going to watch
Vancouver-Tampa Bay —
even if they are last year's
Soccer Bowl finalists — in
Chicago when the Cubs are
on or in New York when the
Yankees are playing?
According to the ratings,
only the die-hard soccer fan.
ABC's premier 1980 soccer
telecast May 18 drew a
national rating of 2.1. which
means a little more than 2
percent of America's TV
homes were watching, and a
7 percent share of the sets
that were on.
In New York, soccer had 4
percent of the viewing
audience, while the Yankees
and Mets totaled 40 percent.
In Chicago, soccer had 6
percent to the 50 percent
watching the Cubs or the
White Sox.
A baseball strike would
seem to be the only way to
get viewers to give televised
soccer a chance.
“We love it whenever ABC
does soccer,” says an
executive at NBC Sports.
"We just wish the soccer
season went all year.”
ABC's NASL contract
requires that at least two
games involve the Cosmos.

Now that the threat of a
baseball strike has been
postponed for one year.
ABC's prime time baseball
can begin this Monday night
without interruption and its
Sunday soccer matches can
continue in obscurity.
It's true that all sides —
the players, owners and
television — would have
been hurt by a baseball
strike. The players wouldn't
have drawn their salaries,
the owners wouldn't have
drawn their gate, concession
and TV revenues and
television itself wouldn't

[year," said
PARIS (AP) — It was a
classic choke and a classic
display of a tour-hardened
champion's nerve and in-
testinal fortitude.
The scene was Roland
Garros stadium, setting of
the French Open, with 18,000
fans hooting football-style on
Wednesday for unheralded
Frenchman Jean-Francois
Caujolle to put the seal on the
seemingly impossible: a
three-set upset of Jimmy
Connors.
Caujolle had gracefully
played the slow clay courts to
cut down the American's
power game and easily won
the first two sets 6-3. 6-2. In
the crucial third set, the tall,
loose 27-year-old Frenchman
with the long wavy black hair
twice broke Connor's serve to
lead 5-2. Connors, serving,
slipped behind 30-40. setting
up match point.
This was the moment a
young Frenchman dreams of.
On other courts Wed-
nesday, other American
stars, John McEnroe and
Vitas Gerulaitis had won
their matches as expected,
and so had Eddie Dibbs. But
on the big centerourt, the
third-seeded Connors came
within one point of one of his
worst drubbings and Caujolle
round scare, bad little
trouble with fellow American
Fritz Buehning, dispatching
him 6-1, 6-2, 6-1. Dibbs beat
French 16-year old Thierry
Tulasne 6-4, 6-2, 7-5.
Chris Evert Lloyd got off to
a breezy start in her defense
of the $42,500 women's title,
humbling France's Caroline
Franch 6-0, 6-0.

The decision divided the
nation which hosted the 1956
Olympics.
The Australian govern-
ment. led by Prime Minister
Malcolm Fraser, was
angered by the decision and
has stepped up pressure on
sports organizations to
reverse the vote.

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Austin Carr of Cleveland and
Richard Washington of
Milwaukee were among the
22 players selected by the
Dallas Mavericks in the
National Basketball
Association expansion draft.
schedule, made a big mistake
in not starting with its best
foot forward and opening
with the Cosmos.
CBS learned that lesson
with pro basketball this
season, when the ratings
improved because of the
near-weekly appearances by
the Celtics and Larry Bird or
the Lakers and Magic
Johnson,
When you've got it, flaunt
it, and from a national
standpoint, all the NASL has
right now is the Cosmos.
After a winter of not thinking
soccer, the viewing public
has to be reminded there still
is an NASL, and that it’s back
on television. The first
telecast is extremely im-
portant for creating interest
and building momentum.
A Super Bowl rematch
between Pittsburgh and Los
Angeles is one thing, but a
Soccer Bowl rematch is
another matter altogether.
And if you doubt this, see
how many people know who
the NASL champion is.
This Sunday, it’s the
Cosmos vs. Washington and
Johan Cruyff — the ideal
matchup of super-team
against super-player — and
if the ratings don't improve,
the NASL-ABC marriage
might be on the rocks.

SYDNEY. Australia (AP)
— Defections by coaches,
athletes and officials from
Australia’s Olympic team
cast serious doubt about the
country’s participation in the
Moscow Summer Olympics,
despite a decision by the
Olympic federation to
compete.

stardom.
After a long volley
Caujolles tried with a passing
shot wide. Match point was
saved.
Connors served at deuce
and won the point. His
advantage. He served again,
and long rally followed — the
two left-handers pounding
ground strokes across the
day, until Connors dared a
drop shot. It was a winner,
and the game went to
Connors. Caujolle led 5-3.
Connors, clowning on a
disputed call, drew more
hoots from the frustrated
French crowd, and he fought
to a break point on Caujolle’s
serve. The Frenchman cooled
down, smashed an ace by
Connors. It was back to
deuce.
But for Caujolle, it was not
to be. Connors won the next
point and then broke the
Frenchman’s serve to make it
5-4 and leave Caujolle so
furious that he batted a ball
out of the stadium.
Connors held his serve and
then broke Caujolle's, and
with it the Frenchman's will,
his concentration and cer-
tainly all that hope for glory.
