Most of the pilots were pros-airline captains, crop dusters, Air Force officers-shooting at $45,000 in prize money for the nine events. The rest were out for kicks. "I know it sounds ridiculous, but my bathtub at home is bigger than this plane," sighed Clyde Parsons, a 215-lb.

Last week Chance made life miserable for the red-hot (12 victories in 16 games) Yankees with a nifty two-hitter...
