These critics were not doubtful of Joost’s ability as a performer, but refused to concede that the Thin Man, who had served as the Reds’ infield utility lo r two seas­ ons, could step into the regular lineup and stand the gaff .of a steaming Cincinnati summer. Joost was quite concerned about the doubt that existed about hifi stamina, and he pointed to his minor league record, which showed that he participated in 629 games over a four-year period, an ^aver­ age of slightly more than 15? games per season. No weakling could go through that number of games. One of those four seasons was spent at Kansas City, whose summers are every bit ad tough as those of Cincinnati, ' i f cnot tougher. The lack of stamina to which Joost’s doubters, referred was like Japanese honor— something that wasn’t. He turned into a regular iron man, missing only two of his team’s 154 games. Only two toe* in the National League topped him in this respect, Frank McCormick of the Reds and Martin Marion of the Cardinals, who played all their teams’ games. Several others, who were closest to Joost in the per­ centage of games played, missed at least four of their teams’ con­ tests. Definitely contrary to predic­ tions, Eddie’s play improved with increased action. He was a fine ball player for the Reds, fielding very well, and ranking third among the league’s shortstops in the batting averages. His mark for the season whs .253, which figure was topped by A r k y Vaughan and Bill Jurges among the shortstops. Highlight of his defensive ac­ tivities occurred in a game at the Polo Grounds, New York, on May % when Joost handled 19 chdnces -m to set a new modern fielding rec­ ord for chances accepted, and tie the all time record set by Dan Richardson of Washington in 1892. Joost is now only 25 years old and has a long, ldng way to go in major league baseball. He has much longer to go than the aver­ age player of hiS own age, be­ cause he is making preparations to stay in it when he is through as a ball player, As he expressed it, “I love this life artd I ’m not going to get out of it when I’m through. I know I can stay in it as a coach, trainer, secretary, etc.” A fellow who feels that way about it certainly should stick around. / Joe Beggs, who won 12 and lost three "for tile Reds as a relief man in 1940, but who slipped to four wins and three defeats in 1941, has lost about a dozen pounds and expects to report for training weighing about the Same as he did in the spring of 1940, His in­ creased weight is charged for the loss of some of his effectiveness last year, and Joe is going to see that he isn’t overweight again, Youngest member of the Reds’ mound corps is Ben Wade, 8 foot, 3 inch right-hander, who was at Indianapolis last year, where he won four and lost five and had an earned run average of 2.83, Wade is only 19, having been born on Nov. 26, 1922. Frank McCormick has played in 652 games as a member of the Cincinnati Reds, and has knocked in 472 runs. Last year was the first time since 1934 that the Dodgers held an edge over the Reds in the seas­ on’s play, Announcing Candidacy Judge Guy B. Findley of the Court of Common Pleas, Lorain County, will be a candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio at the Republican primary election on August 11, 1942, ac­ cording to an announcement re­ leased to the Weekly press this week. Judge Finley Is 36, married and has two children. He is a graduate of the Law Department of the University of Michigan, and in addition to the eight ycilra he has C/Jt M will furnish MORE and BETTER SERVICE Fairfield and Osborn are busy towns. In the last five years, the number of telephones in this exchange area Jhas douhlcd, and traffic through its long distance switchboard has increased fourfold. On Jan. 1, 1937, there were 350 telephones in the Fairfield and Osborn exchange. Now there arc more than 700 and instal­ lations are continuing at a rapid pace to keep abreast the expanding needs of the community. A $ 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 S Y S T E M Fairfield and Osborn need a larger telephone system, and The Ohio Bell Telephone Company is spending $100,000 to provide one. The new dial Fairfield and Osborn system, now nearing completion, not only w ill meet the increased present demands for service more efficiently, but also will have ample facilities to accommodate future growth. jwiii THE OHIO BELL PROVISIONS FOR FUTURE The new exchange building in Osborn is designed with enough additional floor space for installation of more equipment as it is needed; Telephone circuits between the Fairfield and Osborn exchange and Dayton are being increased more than 700%—from eight to 57—to carry the tremendous flow of calls between these points when the new dial system is put into operation February 28. At that time free service will be established between Fairfield, Osborn and Dayton, adding some 70,000 Dayton telephones to the local calling area. The Fairfield and Osborn dial exchange w ill be in step with the progress of this area and will meet new tele­ phone requirements w ith fast, dependable 24-hour service unexcelled anywhere.
