In 1974, at a track meet in Moscow, 15- year-old Mary Decker became so enraged when a Soviet relay runner elbowed her off the track during a race that she threw the relay baton at her opponent. Today, at the world track and field championships, Miss Decker showed she has found a better way to deal with Soviet runners who try to push her around on the track. She outruns them. For the second time in five days, Miss Decker fought back from a last- lap challenge by a Soviet runner to win a world championship. Last Wednesday, it was the 3,000-meter run. Today, it was the 1,500-meter run, which she won with a brilliant stretch drive after being passed and cut off by Zamira Zaitseva of the Soviet Union on the final turn.

President Reagan, criticizing what he termed ''hype and hoopla'' over his policies in Central America, contended today that news organizations were offering the public distorted accounts of events in that area. ''You wouldn't know from some of the coverage that the greatest portion of our aid to Central America is humanitarian and economic assistance,'' the President said in a speech here to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. ''You wouldn't know democracy is taking root there.'' 'We're Getting a Distorted View' Addressing the annual convention of the veterans' group, Mr. Reagan noted that Robert Currieo, a V.F.W. official, had recently returned from a trip to Central America and complained that ''we're getting a distorted view of what's actually taking place.''

All night and most of the day, the thunder of French military transport planes reverberates over this city, and the symbolism is evident. This is the bridgehead of Western support for President Hissen Habre's 13- month-old Government, it is the emblem of a reluctant commitment by the Socialists in Paris that has frozen the advance of Liyba's leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, into Chad, for the time being at least. But the triumph may turn out to be Pyrrhic. France, embroiling itself in a military adventure from which Washington shied away, has committed itself to an involvement that may be open-ended and that seemingly reverses the Socialists' aversion, while in opposition, to the interventionism displayed by President Valery Giscard d'Estaing.

A California railroad expert who studied the New York City subway system concluded last week that deterioration of the tracks was ''readily apparent'' - ''even from the front end of a moving train.'' The image was a vivid one for New Yorkers, who sometimes have gazed out the front window of a subway train and wondered how the swaying cars remained on the tracks. The observations of the consultant, Harry M. Williamson, raised questions: Why hadn't someone in charge noticed track conditions before and taken remedial action? Why had the tracks been neglected? Where do track problems rank in relation to other subway woes? And why is it taking so long to repair the tracks? John D. Simpson, president of the New York City Transit Authority, said that in the last decade attention had been focused elsewhere. The ''top priority,'' he said, was the condition of the subway cars. ''We dealt with that, and we wish we had dealt with the second priority - which was track.''

As Israel prepares to pull out of the Shuf mountains above Beirut, Lebanon is bracing for what could become a new chapter in the civil warfare that has torn it apart for the last eight years. At issue is whether the largely untested Lebanese Army can move into the military vacuum that will be left by the Israelis without setting off violent resistance from the newly rearmed Druse militiamen in the Shuf. The frail Government of President Amin Gemayel is in a momentous and unenviable predicament. If its army fails to pacify the Shuf, the Government's authority will suffer a crippling blow. But dispatching the army to the mountains could touch off battles that would have the same effects.

In vetoing a bill to provide $20 million of desegregation assistance to Chicago schools, President Reagan said Saturday that the measure had been passed under pressure from a Federal judge who exceeded his powers. Mr. Reagan said that a recent order by Federal District Judge Milton I. Shadur in Chicago ''raises problems of profound constitutional significance.'' The basic constitutional question is the extent of a judge's power to set spending priorities for the President and Congress. Setting those priorities, Mr. Reagan said, is ''exclusively the function of the legislative and executive branches'' of Government. The Justice Department contends that Judge Shadur abused his discretion and was ''prepared to write a blank check from the United States Treasury'' to pay for desegregating the Chicago schools.

They said the attention given to military developments in the region had been spurred by White House actions. Mr. Reagan told a meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars yesterday that ''discouraging hype and hoopla'' in the news media was giving people in the United States a distorted view of progress in Central America.

Edwin Meese 3d, the White House counselor, said today the Administration was not engaged in a ''bidding war'' for the Hispanic vote in 1984, but that if President Reagan ran for re- election he would get a ''fair share'' of the ballots of Hispanic Americans. But Gov. Toney Anaya of New Mexico, a Democrat, took issue with Mr. Meese's statements.
