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."

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.

Racing Drivers
Pay Respects to
Bill Vukovich
' Indianapolis (U.P.) 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.
