termine means of eliminating over

by the association, on the motion of

NEW YORK. Gune 3 lUP)- Lou
Gehrig. baseballs Good Boy, is
dead.
A rare disease. amyothrophie
selerosis a hardening of the spinal
cord-Which ended his sports career
two Years ago after he had played
Il 2130 consecutive games for the
New York Yankees. ended his life
at 1910 last night. He would have
been 38 on June 10.
Private funeral services will be
held tomorrow morning at the
Christ Protestant Episcopal church,
Riyerdale. Ny. The Rev. Gerald
Y. Barry viii officiate. The body
will be cremated.
The disease from which he sui
fered was considered incurable 1t
had forced him to end a l5-year
career two years ago.
It had confined him to his home
for n month. to his bed two weeks.
He was conscious until the end.
His wife. the former Eleanor Twit-
cheI of Chicago. his parents, Mr..
and Mrs Henry Gehrig, and his
Wife's mother. Mrs. Nellie TWit-
chell. were at the bedside.
From June 1. 1925 through April
so. 1889. Gehrig didn't miss a game.
He was in the Yankee lineup ev-
cry playing day. He set up an en-
durance record which MANY believe
never will be eQualled.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-03

broke into the game. Cobb didn't
think Gehrig could take it, and rode
him to try to cause him to make
displays in his anger. Finally Geh-
rigs Dutch anger reached the boil
ing point. and he rushed at Cobb
one day, only to hit his head on
the roof of a dugout and almost
knock himself out. But Cobb quit
riding Gehrig after that. He knew
Lou could take it.
ACQUIRED SKILL
Gehrig was not a born ball play
er. He acquired skill by persever-
ance and plodding. While fresh
men at Columbia, John j. McGraW
looked him over and was not inn
pressed with his possibilities. In
1923 Gehrig hooked up with the
Yanks, fresh out of Columbia. He
got $500 for signing, and the
money went TO help his dad who
hadn't worked for six months, and
his mother who had been ill for n
long time.
When Gehrig went to camp with
the Yanks in 1924, he had only $12
and tried to get a part-time jobs
jerking soda" to help pay his in
cidental expenses. But Miller Hug
gins discovered the predicament
and arranged a loan. Later Geh-
rigs salary rose to as high as
$4,000 a year, and in all he COL
lected nearly $400000 in salaries
and world series cuts.
