w- THE COLD SHOULDER Al Lopez Geft), Cleveland In dians' manager, looks slightly frustrated as Umpire John Flaherty refuses to listen to the "last word" after he had thumbed Lopez from the game with the White Sox in the eighth inning at Cleveland. The thumbing climaxed rhubarb between Lopez and Flaherty, The White Sox really had the last word with a 4-1 win. Spokane Indians Desperate; Stock Sale Drive Fails Spokane U.R) A cam paign to sell stock in the Spo kane Indians baseball club of the Northwest league has been a failure and the team is in "des perate" financial condition, ac cording to club Business Man ager Frank Herron. He said the drive to sell stock in the new community -owned team had fallen "far short" of its $25,000 goal. A losing team and bad weather which has kept home-game crowds down to about 200 persons have added to the troubles, he said. The club bought its playing grounds, Ferris Field, from Roy Hotchkiss, former owner of the old Indians of the Western In ternational league, for $180,000. The community raised $56,000 and from this gave Hotchkiss a $25,000 down payment. Another $14,000 payment is due next month. Despite the troubles, one club director said he felt the team was "too far along now to quit. This crisis won't mean the end of the Indians."

MedfordOJTribune SIPODIMrS Cudd Attracts Attention In British Amateur Golf St Anne's, England (U.P.) Bruce Cudd of Portland, Ore., moved into the fourth round of the British Amateur Golf tournament today with a 3 and 2 victory over Harley Roberts of England. The 21-year-old Cudd never was behind as he forged a 2 up lead on the outgoing nine holes and maintained it while shooting spotty golf coming in. Cudd birdied the 11th and 13th holes, but lost both the 14th and 15th with bogey fives before clinching on the 16th. Bert V7 e a v e r, Beaumont, Tex., defeated Robin Gallo way, 19, of Scotland, 3 and 1. in the third round. Weaver earlier defeated S. J. Fox of England, 3 and 2, to join Cudd and seven other Americans in third-round competition. St. Anne's, England (U.P.) Billy Joe Patton and Bruce Cudd, a pair of young American stars, were attracting lots of at tention today among the 22 United States players entering second and third round matches in the British Amateur golf championship. Patton, one of the top U. S. hopes now that Walker Cup Cap tain Bill Campbell has been sur prisingly eliminated, led 14 Yanks into second-round play. Cudd, at 21 of the "baby" of the U.S. Walker Cup team that recently trounced Britain, 10 2, was among eight Americans slated to compete today in third round matches. The 22 Yanks were the sur vivors of an original U.S. entry of 46 players and Campbell, the husky Huntington, W, Va., star who was a finalist m this tourn ament a year ago, was the major upset victim. In fact, his 2 and 1 defeat by school teacher Reg Pattison of Enguand was being called one of the greatest first round upsets in the 70-year his tory of the tournament. Putting Not Funny The 43-year-old Pattison pre sented something of a comic as pect as he waddled around the Royal Lytham and St. Anne's course clad in baggy trousers and shirt sleeves, but there was nothing funny about his putting. He missed only one short putt, and he had eight one-putt greens. "Pattison was truly remark able on the greens, Campbell ad mitted. "I have no complaints, but I ought to have used my head. I know it will be a very long way back from this." Cudd, from Portland, Ore., scored a 2 to 1 victory over Sir John Hartopp of Scotland in a match marked by such easy in formality that it little resembled a clash in a championship tour ney. They conceded each other two-foot putts and even holes on several occasions. Today Cudd was matched in the third round against Harley Roberts of England. 1905 Chicago U. Team Pays Honor to Stagg Chicago (U.R) Amos Alonzo Stagg, who made football history coaching University of Chicago teams for 40 years, returned to day to the school where he once was a campus landmark to be feted by members of his 1905 championship team.

The na tion's top race drivers paid their last respects today to Bill Vuk ovitch, two-time winner of the Indianapolis Speedway race who rode to a fiery death in the Me morial Day classic. Services were held, the day after the speedway victory din ner which Vukovich had hoped to attend as the first winner of three straight races in the 39-' year history of the event. The 37-year-old daredevil was leading the field in the 57th lap when he roared into a five car pileup. His racer shot over the northwest turn wall, over turned five times and exploded in flames when it landed upside down. Vukovitch was trapped in the wreckage. The body will be returned to Fresno, Calif., tomorrow. It will be flown to Los Angeles where a hearse will meet the plane for the trip to his home town.
