Harry H. Redd, a native Georgian, is working as a scout for the Washington Senators in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, and will make Atlanta his base of operations until June.
Redd was appointed to interview and scout prospects in this area last winter by Sherry Robertson, director of the Senators farm chain. Calvin Griffith is president of the club and Cookie Lavagetto is the manager.
The Washington scout has enjoyed close contacts with major league players. He lists among his personal friends Willie Mays, Junior Gilliam, Larry Doby, Don Newcombe, Joe Black, Monte Irvin and numerous other topnotchers.
Redd plans to see Alabama A. and M., Alabama State, Allen, Florida A and M., South Carolina State, Tuskegee Institute, Xavier University and Stillman in action during his ivory-hunting stints in these parts.
The Washington scout participated in the Pro-Am golf tournament last week at New Lincoln Golf Course, but will resume his duties this weekend as the SIAC plays a full slate of games.
Before joining the Washington club, Redd worked in a similar capacity for the St. Louis Cardinals.
