Have you tried xtable?
library( xtable )
x <- structure(list(Record = 1:3, Average = c(34L, 14L, 433L), Maximum = c(899L,
15L, 1003L)), .Names = c("Record", "Average", "Maximum"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-3L))
x <- xtable( x )
print( x )
% latex table generated in R 2.15.2 by xtable 1.7-1 package

\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{rrrr}
\hline
& Record & Average & Maximum \\
\hline
1 & 1 & 34 & 899 \\
2 & 2 & 14 & 15 \\
3 & 3 & 433 & 1003 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
