...rangy six-footer, Chance has a sinking fastball, a roundhouse country curve, and a curious quirk in his pitching motion: he turns his back on the batter during his windup. "Never take your eyes off home plate" is a cardinal rule of pitching, but Chance shrugs: "It don't make too much difference if I look at the plate or not, 'cause I don't see too well outa my left eye anyhow." Maybe not, but it makes a big difference to the hitters. "They don't know whether he's going...
...neighborhood pub, and Hank started dropping by for a beer after work. That was where a roving baseball scout named Danny Menendez found him. "Menendez was asking Joe whatever happened to his 'little brother, Hank,' " laughs Bauer, by then a strapping 190-lb. six-footer. "I tapped him on the shoulder. 'That's me.' He took one look and said, 'Damn, you've growed.' " Menendez instantly offered him a tryout with the Quincy, Ill. Gems, a Class B Yankee farm club. Terms: $175 a month, a $25 raise if he made...
Under Secretary of Commerce Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr. borrowed .the biggest yacht in town-a 40-footer owned by New York Industrialist John Snyder-to throw a dockside luncheon. Junior later showed up at a cocktail buffet given by some Washington buddies who had, at $10 an hour, rented a donkey named Joey to liven things up. The President's Club, a collection of party faithful who have kicked in $1,000 or more to the campaign war chest, gave a beach clambake featuring 3,250 lobsters trucked down from Maine's Casco Bay the night before. While...
...husky six-footer who hits one of the game's longest balls (he once won a driving contest with measured drives of 347, 352 and 367 yds.), Nichols is known as a "trash player," a scrambler, who sprays his shots like a 20-handicapper, plays best when he is in deepest trouble. Last week he outdid himself. On the first round, he drove into the rough four times - and each time got a birdie, with miraculous recoveries, for a six-under-par 64, the lowest score ever shot in a P.G.A.championship. A second-day 71 was good enough...
...miler who can challenge Walt Hewlett on a good (though the Elis' Ross o Dell has caught Hewlett on bad days before). If Yale's pole vaulters and javelin men are fairly sure winners there is no Bulldog who can leap with Chris Ohiri, a consistent 23-footer in the broad jump and a threat to go right out of the pit in the hop, step and jump. The close events should be the shot put, where Chuck Merecin and Art Croasdale renew an old rivalry, the discus, where Harvard's Heps champion John Bakkensen and George Levendis are about...
