'By THE CANADIAN PRESS

You’d think St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs were battling (for the National League pennant, judging by their 12-01111011-3' battle Wednesday.

The Cardinals, who won 9 - 7, climbed into at least a tempor- ary tie with Cincinnati for fourth place. The lowly Cubs sank closer ‘to last place.

St. Louis’ heroes were ear-Cub Jim Bros-nan, who turned his first appearance against his for- mer mates into his 10th victory, and Joe Cunningham who drove intlhetworunsbyudlilctht. Louis won.

The Ssh-hour matinee included just about everything in the book as Ernie Banks blasted his 43rd homer and batted in two runs to lift his RBI count to 1-14.

The Cubs made five of the game’s nine double plays.

A ninth-inning twin killing by the Cardinals, however, was the

“killer” as far as the Cubs were

concerned. Catcher Cal Neem-an opened the home ninth with a double, then was doubled oilf see-
