TRYING HARD TO RETAIN HIS CROWN American League batting champion and "rookie - of - the-year" in 1964, Tony Oliva of the Mihnesota "Twins", is shown holding the two bats he has used this season and showing the sore knuckle, on his right hand, which has hampered his bid to defend his bat- ting title, The injured knuckle has a bone cup in it, which causes Oliva pain and ofen results in him throwing the bat, when he ORIOLES SPLIT By DICK COUCH Associated Press Sports Writer Minnesota Twins, who started their baseball season with a dugout auction, are well on the way to ending it with a World Series ticket sale. The American. League leaders stamped New York Yankees 7-3 Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to six games and inspiring manager Sam Mele to offer a cautiously topimistic view from the top. . "we've got a pretty good lead," Mele conceded after the Twins' 13th victory in their last 16 starts opened, an 84-length bulge over second-place Balti- more Orioles. 'They've got to catch us now." Mele's mood has changed since spring training, when the Twins reported to camp still smarting from last season's sixth-place finish and shortstop Zoilo Versalles outbid the man- ager in a dugout dispute, Mele yanked Versalles. from an exhibition game against New York Mets after the Cuban speedster failed to come up Twins Down Yankees Manager Optimistic with a routine ground ball, Ver: salles objected and Mele fined him $100, "Make it $200," Versalles snapped. "All right, it's $200," said Mele. '"'Why not $300?" per- sisted Zoilo, He got no argu- ment from Mele and the bidding closed. FINE WORKED "Versailles has played tre. mendous ball ever since, said Mele. The Orioles fell another half- game behind when they divided a twi-night doubleheader at Bos- ton. The Red Sox won the opener 15-5 with a 12-run. ex- plosion in the fifth inning. The Orioles rebounded 12-5 in the nightcap behind Bob Johnson and Brooks Robinson.

The inimitable Koufax dis- cussed that elusive plateau after becoming the majors' first | 20- game winner in Los Angeles' Dodgers 4-3 triumph over New York Mets Tuesday night. He also ng about his physical ion, "T feel a little tired," he ad- mitted. "But after a couple of ts sleep I'm always ready I still want to pitch ev- ery fourth day . 'I have a chance to win 30, but I would have to win every start. I really don't think I'll get 30 because you have to pick up some in relief, and I doubt that I'll be doing that." If Koufax continues pitching Leading Jets Win Marathon, Toronto Idle By THE CANADIAN PRESS The seventh - place Toledo Mud Hens, who have a habit of making life miserable for first- division opponents in the Inter- national League, gave Colum- bus Jets the treatment Tuesday night. The Mud Hens kept the league leaders on' the field for four hours and 13 minutes be- fore fielding lapses betrayed them and the Jets staggered off with a 4-2 victory in 15 innings. Jacksonville Suns split with Rochester Red Wings, winning 4-2 and losing 7-2, and Atlanta Crackers shaded Syracuse Chiefs 4-3 in 'the only other games scheduled. A leadoff single by Gene Mi- chael was the only hit the Jets needed in their winning two- run rally. Losing pitcher Tom Metcalf was late in an effort to force Michael at second on Je May's sacrifice bunt and another sacrifice by Jack Dam- aska sent the runners to second and third. Then third baseman Al Moran was charged with an er-| ror when he fielded. Bob) Perry's bouncer and hit Mich- ael in the back with his throw to the plate. A sacrifice fly brought in the final run.

It's even possible that man- ager Walt Alston will call upon the left-handed ace for relief duty if the National League pennant race remains as close as it is now. The Dodgers lead San Francisco Giants by only one game and Milwaukee Braves and Cincinnati Reds by two each. Koufax, who has lost four games, isn't concerned that his arthritic left elbow suddenly might act up after leaving him alone for 28 starts, 19 of which he has completed. Koufax leaves the worrying to the other teams. In striking! out 14 Mets, he raised his ma- jor league-leading total to 267, just 81 away from Bob Feller's season record, He also extended his career mark with the Mets to 13-0 and became the earliest 20-game winner since team- mate Don Drysdale won his) 20th on August 3, 1962. | In other NL games, San Fran-| | | 4-3, Milwaukee downed St. Louis Cardinals 5-3, Cincinnati trimmed Chicago Cubs 6-2 and Philadelphia Phillies _ defeated Houston Astros 2-0, MARICHAL WINS 18TH Juan Marichal won his 18th game against eight defeats by limiting Pittsburgh to four hits, cisco edged Pittsburgh Pirates|5?
