Hoyt .- jloosl Due | ~ ForTesting This Seasonj ‘Reds’ Full-fime Shortstop, Mav Make or Break | Cincinnati's Bid ‘ Pv DILLON GRAHAM Editor, AP Feature Service | Sports April 8.—Eddie Joost, the young infielder who some say “saved” the 1939 Na- tional League pennant for Cin-| cinnati, may make or break the Reds' bid for a third successive flag | Two years ago when the Reds| were battling the St. Louis Cardi- nals down the stretch, baseman Linus Frey was forced| out of the lineup. A poor replace-| ment around the keystone sack might have handicapped the Reds| just enough to let the Cardinals slip in ahead. But Joost came up off the bench to show some sensational fielding and timely hitting that filled the gap securely. | This spring Eddie finds himself asked to fill a slot regularly throughout the whole seascn. Man- ager Bill McKechnie has broken up the infield quartet that twice car- ried the Reds to victory. Shortstop Billy Myers was traded to the Chi- cago Cubs and Joost has bgen nom- inated as the full-time shortfielder. Played 88 in 40 This is Eddie’s first chance as a daily player since he came up to! the Reds in 1939 from Kansas| City. He played in only 42 games his first season but saw almost as! much action last years as Myers, | |appearing in 88 contests. ; Joost is thin, 5-foot-11, and| weighs 162 pounds. Some say he is| too frail, can't go the full season. Eddie disagrees: “I've got plenty | lof strength,” he says, “and Ill| | show those fellows that I can play | | good ball through the hot months.” | | Eddie thought he had a regular| | job when he first came up. He was | | being used at second, with Myers at short and Frey at third. Then | | Cincinnati bought Bill Werber from | | the Athletics. Werber took third, | Frey moved to second and Joost| | 8ot the utility role. “Sure he'll be all right, he’s | better than Myers ever was and don’t forget he played more | { TAMPA, Fla, than half of last scason.” Eddie is pretty fast but his hit- | ting is weak. He hit only .216 last| | season, batted in two dozen runs. He's never hit better than .289 m eight years of minor and major |league ball, But the Reds arcu'ti losing any power. Myers = was' never in the .300 class and hit just .202 last season. Mattick Also Used In the spring exhibition games | McKechnie is also using Bob Mat- | tick, who came from the Cubs in the Myers deal, at shortstop. Some| of the rookies have workeéd there,| too. It seems that McKechnie has almost decided to go with Joost, | but isn't sure. Mattick played in 1128 games for the Cubs last year {and some regard him as better than Joost. One rival manager, who Coubts Joost’s ability to go -the dictance and isn’t so high on Mattick figures that McKechnie plans a trade for a new short- stop. | The rest of the Reds' infield is a carry-over and stacks up with {the best in the league—hard-hit- ting Frank McCormick at first, Frey at second and Werber at third. The only other change in the Reds lineup may come in the outfield. Mike McCormick is a cer- tainty and Ival Goodman likely will start in right. But left field still is | open. There's fast-fielding, poor- hitting Harry Craft; Jim Ripple, a stretch. -player who starred last season, and Jim Gleason, who came from the Cubs and hit .316, It's a stronger ball club than the Reds won with last year. And it’s going to be hard to keep them from ancther flag. ———e————— The military service period for Finnish * conscripts has been ex- tended to two years, effective 1941 to 1945.
