Doubles by Cleo James, Ken Holtzman and Jim Hickman were the key blows for the Cubs, who survived a ninth-inning rally by the Cardinals to gain a 3-2 victory. James and Holtzman hit their two-baggers for a run in the fifth inning and Hickman doubled behind walks to Glenn Beckert and Ron Santo for two runs in the eighth.
