Chris Short, son of Judge l.
d. Short, II, Georgetown, and Mrs.
Uala Short, Lewes, has signed a
Major League contract with the
Phillies Baseball Team.
Chris is 21 years old, g. 4" and
weighs 1875 lbs. He started pitching
in the ninth grade at Lewes High
School and Tony Georgiana base
ball coach at Lewes, says that he
always had fine control. He de-
yeloped his fast ball while a stu
dent at Bordentown IN. J.) Prep
School and during one game, L
major league scouts were among
the spectators.
Chris, a southpaw and a good
all around athlete, was considered
one of the best prospects in rookie
school. His big break came when
Curt Simmons, star southpaw, had
20 undergo an operation for a
zone chip in his elbow.
Chris has only had a season and
half in professional ball and its
difficult to believe that he has
proven himself so far ahead OF
what was expected.
Manager Eddie Sawyer of the
Phillies has stated that Chris
looked very good in Spring train
ing. No one hits the kid, and he
gets the ball over the plate with
plenty on it.
