Southern California has not been

the team's opponents chalked up 25

The significant thing is that eight of

the defensive polish and speed that
characterizes Terry's play Is not
sufficient to off net his bigger threat
at the plate. The Datting averages
do not show an advantage for either
as he was at his peak in 1930, when
he also batted .401.
Gehrig's fielding figures for 1931

, CONSISTENCY HIS JKWEI
The Yankee first sacker makes
up In his consistency and reliability
what he lacks In poise and agility.
Starting June 1, 1933. Gehrig has
now finished playing 1197 consecu
tive games, exclusive of 10 others
In four world's series. Barring an
! accident he figures to pass Everett
fccoits world record of 1307 games
ome time around the first of next
August.
Gehrig has led tho American
league four times In the vital de
partment of runs batted In. within
the past seven years. Only Ruth.
Simmons and Foxx, in separate
years, have topped the Yankee
cleanup clouter In this respect.
Terry, of course, is one of the most
dangerous batsmen In baseball but
over the stretch of the past half
dozen years his records are not so
Impressive as those of his Yankee
rival.

Most Enterprise
People Scoff At
Wet Field Story
Frorr. al! reports the last two days.
Enterprise people In general repudiate
thc charges of some voiced there that
the La Grande High school gridiron
j was purposely muddied for the game 1
here last Saturday.
j Among the latest to voice an opin
ion, is A. B. Amonini, of an Enterprise ,
furniture firm, and a former coach '
! of Enterprise teams. Incidentally.
1 when he was E. H. S. grid mentor, 1
.the. Savages were rated, as one of the (
trickiest teams In Eastern Oregon,
and he made life miserably uncertain
for other teams with his cross -crosses,
trick, passing attacks, etc.. and pulled
many a game out of the fire through ,
use of surprise plays. Mr. Anion! no's
coaching ability Is well remembered
throughout this district, although it
has been some time since he handled
the reins. r j
The Observer received the follow
ing letter from "the former coach this
morning: ,
"I was Indeed greatly surprised to
read the article in the Observer re
garding the 'wetting of the La
Grande field and also the matter
covering the 'cleats,' t
"Now why anyone should as much .
a thing ls beyond me. Having been ' P
In' the game myself for a number of
years. 1 have always found that when
anything of that nature was done. ,
that It was all done for the good of
the game. Sometimes as In the La
Grande case Nature steps in and
takes a hand, and we all know that
we mortals cannot control nature.
"I have heard the game discussed
upon the streets but did not hear
anything of that nature, and I want
to assure you for myself and the
majority of the good people of Enter
prise, that what Mr. Woodie did. to
put the field In shape for the game. !
was done for the best Interests of
all concerned. We all feel that we ,
should not be Judged for what a few ,
have- done, and I am also sure ' At
the ones that felt that way. may ave
been in a poor frame of mind after
the result of tho game and really
did not mean just what was said.
"Wishing the La Grande boys the
best of luck. I am
"Very trulv yours.
