EACH EVENING Oliva, who has been playing all season long with a bone chip in the middle finger of his right hand, came back from a week's layoff Wednesday night and resumed defense of his American League batting title with two doubles and a single in the Twins' 5-2 victory over Detroit. The 24-year-old left-handed swinger still trails Boston's Carl Yastrzemski, who is hitting .323, and Brooks Robinson of Baltimore, swinging at a .319 clip, in the three-way struggle for the title and the silver bat that goes with it. Bui Oliva's 3-for-4 performance quickly shot him back into contention with a .315 as he attempts to become the first batting champion to repeat since Boston's Ted Williams accomplished the feat in 1957 and 1958. While Oliva resumed his chase for the batting title, the front-running Twins moved eight games ahead of second- place Chicago in the AL pennant race. The White Sox were rained out at Baltimore.

Elsewhere, Kansas City edged Cleveland 4-3, Washington outlasted Boston 8-7 and the Los Angeles Angels nipped the New York Yankees 7-6 in 12 innings. Oliva, who is second in the league in runs scored with 96, third in doubles with 33 and fourth in runs batted in with 83, doubled home the first run and then scored on a passed ball in a three-run first inning outburst against the Tigers. Home runs by Bill Bryan and Wayne Causey got the job done for the A's. The Indians took a 2-0 lead against John O'Donoghue in the second but Bryan hit a three-run shot in the A's half and Causey hit what turned out to be the clincher with the bases empty in the sixth inning off Luis Tiant. The Senators pulled out front to stay, 8-6, in the seventh inning after the Red Sox had tied the score in their half with a three-run rally built on Jim Gosger's double, four walks, two wild pitches and a sacrifice fly.

Ken McMullen's double and Willie Kirkland's single broke the tie and Don Lock singled in the final run. The Yankees contributed to their own downfall by committing errors and having two men picked off.

Dreamliners Win in NBC With Undefeated Record WICHITA, Kan. CAP) Dick Soergel starred as a relief pitcher and a hitter as the Wichita Dreamliners beat Liberal, 11-6 Wednesday night and won their third National Baseball Congress Championship in four years.

Soergel went to the mound in the seventh after Liberal scored three runs and had a man on base. He snuffed out the rally with the Dreamliners still leading 6-4. Soergel's three-run double was the big blow in a five-run burst that put Wichita out of reach in the ninth. The Dreamliners won the title in 1962 and 1963, and they were the first team since 1959 to go through the long tournament with a perfect 7-0 record. The championship game was postponed two days because of rain and wet grounds.

The Pittsburgh Pirates won only nine of their first 33 games this season. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA By MURRAY CHASS Associated Press Sports Writer Like Humpty Dumpty, the Los Angeles Dodgers have had a great fall, and now they must wonder whether Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale can put them back together again. Koufax and Drysdale, the winningest pair of pitchers on any team in the majors, were on the bottom of the fall Wednesday night as the charging Pittsburgh Pirates dropped them in a doubleheader 3-2 in 11 innings and 2-1. The double defeat tumbled the Dodgers out of the National League lead because at the same time Cincinnati swept a pair from Milwaukee 7-6 and 20.

That put the Reds on top, one percentage point ahead of the Dodgers. The San Francisco Giants, who were rained out at Philadelphia, are one-half game back, the Braves are in fourth, two behind, and the fifth-place Pirates with 10 victories in their last 11 games trail by only games. En route to his latest loss, Koufax broke his 1963 National League season strikeout record of 306 by fanning 10 Pirates and bringing his total to 313, just 35 away from Bob Feller's all-time mark. The Pirates won the game in the llth on a walk to Willie Stargell and Jim Pagliaroni's double. In the nightcap, Bill Virdon, Sweepstakes Today in NH SALEM, N.H.
