CHICAGO CUBS f DOWN CABOS IN NINTH INNING ■ ! ( Cubs Retain Lead; Use 20 Players To Defeat ] Cardinals i New York, June 30.—(U.R) The , Chicago Cubs still held the tort in I the National league today — but I that doesn’t tell halt the story. ’ Charlie Grimm had to commandeer almost every player in the Chicago ranks before the Cubs turn- , ed back the charge of the St. I Louis Cardinals in a wild and wooly battle, 119. During three-hour battle, in which the lead changed hands four times, the ; Cubs used 20 of their 22 players,: only pitcher Curt Davis and rookie Dutch Meyer failing to get into: the game. At the finish the Cubs had a pitcher, Roy Parmelee in the game . us a pinch-hitter, an outfielder, Augle Galan, playing shortstop, j > and a third string catcher, John Bottarini, playing left field. Grimm used six—Carleton. Bryant, Shoun.i Lee. French and Root—of his eight-man pitching staff before the Cubs finally triumphed with two out in the ninth. With, two out and the great Dizzy Dean on the mound, the Cards had the game all but won, ,

Then Billy Herman singled for his fourth hit, und Gabby Hurt I nett, who had U perfect day at bat 4 for 4 crushed a double, drlv ing Tu Herman with the tying run Cavarretta walked und Marty beat I out a hit, filling the buses, but Parmelee instead of holding third ; broke for the plate. .Mickey Owen dropped the throw and Purmelee. ex-Curdinul, scored the wining, run. Cavarretta also started home,' und scored when Durocher’s throw ' hit him In the back. Dean, who hud been rushed into the game to protect the Cards one run lead in the ninth, funned the . first two men to face him, but be- l fore the Cubs got through he was I charged with uis seventh defeat. | Charlie Root, who pitched the last 1 1-3 innings, was the Cubs winning pitcher. The New York Giants moved into second place by nosing out the Phillies. 43. In 10 innings. McCarthy’s single scored Ripple with the winning run.

A weird decision enabled the New York Yankees to trim the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-2, and maintain their three-game lead in the American league. With tin score tied, 2-2, in the ninth a runner on third and two out, pinchhitter Charlie Ruffing grounded to second baseman Ambler who threw to Finney at first and Umpire Summers called him out. The Yankees protested and after a consultation with Umpire-in-chief Dinneen, the decision was reversed— Rutting was called safe and the run scored. The Athletics refused to take the field until Connie -Mack told them ■ to. Later Mack announced that, he did not protest the reversal ot i : the decision. The only two runs made oft | Edgar Smith, rookie southpaw, un- I | til the ninth were homers by Seikirk—No. 17 —and Dickey.

My favorite sports figure — with ' the possible exception of Eleanor Holm Jarrett in a bathing suit —Is embraced in the initials I. B. U. The I. B. U. is not a three-horned inimal, but is the international i boxing union, and consists of a | jovey of spade-bearded, pernod sipping, be-spatted Parislen boulevardiers. In their minds (and ; that's giving them all the best of iit upstairs) the members of the 1.8. U. are the most powerful legislative group in pugilism. When they are not bouncing through the Bids. tripping through the Tuillieries. or leering at the Louvre, they spend their time suspending fighters, announcing n -w heavyweight champions, blacklisting. black-balling, and cutting v.p in general. Their latest mote, news of which arrived a few days ago by Chinese Sampan, was to brand Joe Louis as an imposter and name Max Schmeling heavyweight champion of the world. There is no telling how long the 1.8. U. boys will retain Schmeling as champion. They are as changeable as a leopard’s spots aren't. During the James Breddock regime, the 1.8. U. would have no part of the Irishman and considered George Godfrey champion ’ of the world. Godfrey’s honor came to him ■ suddenly. Ol’ George, the original I “black menace.” had given up I boxing for wrestling, w’restllng for strong man acts, and strong man ■acts for restaurant handyman, i when he was suddenly tapped on his skull and bones by a member of I. B. U. and pronounced heavyweight champion of the world. Godfrey was forced to put down his tray of food and defend his title against Pierre Charles, a venerable Belgian who, until named foremost challenger by 1.8. U., was quietly enjoying middle age. Much against their respective wills George and Pierre were thrown in the battle pit, all for the glory of old I. B- U. As I remember it, George finally won with a sinking

I I have also seen Farr fight.i I When I was in London last fall , trying to straighten out the Duke’s i affairs. I took a look at Farr's i dukes. They did not have the bar ! sinister. In fact, there was noth- . sinister about them. If Louis i couldn’t belt Farr out in three ] heats, as we say in Mayfair, then I am an armadillo sewing basket with cerise lining. However, the I. B.
