 New York, June 3O.-UP)-The Chicago Cubs still held the fort in the National league today-but that doesn't tell half the story.
 Charlie Grimm had to comman- deer almost every player ir the Chi cago ranks before the Cubs turned back the charge of the St. Louis Cardinals 11-9. During the three hour battle, in which the lead changed hands four times, the Cubs used 20 of their p players, only Pitcher Curt Davis and rookie Dutch Meyer failing to get into tlle game.
 At the finish the Cubs had a pitcher, Roy Parmelee, as a pinch runner, an outfielder, Augie Galan, playing shortstop, and a third string catcher, John Bottarini, playing left field. Grimm used six-Carle- ton, Bryant, Shoun, Lee. French and Root-of his eight-man pitch ing staff before the Cubs finally triumphed with two out in the ninth.
 Mixup
 With two out and the great Dizzy Dean on the mound, the Cards had the game all but won, 9-8. Then Billy Herman singled for his four fh hit, and Gabby Hartnett crashed a double, driving in Herman with the | tying run. CaVarretta walked and Marty beat out hit, filling the bases, but Parmelle instead of hold ing third broke for the plate. Mickey Owen dropped the throw and Par melee, ex-Cardinal, scored the winning run. Cavaretta also start ed home, and scored when Duroch- CTS throw hit him in the back.

With the score tied, 2-2, in the ninth runner on third and two out, pinch-hitter Charlie Ruffing grounded to sec- ond baseman Ambler who threw 10 Finney at first and Umpire Sum- mers called him out.
