All-Star Ticket Problem Confronts One of Kenosha's Leading FansMrs. Harold H. Rudd, 3509 71st Ave., is probably one of Kenosha’s leading baseball fans. She has attended five major league all-star games since 1947, but this year with the annual July classic being played “in my own backyard” she's afraid she might have to miss it.Tickets for the 1955 all-star game at Milwaukee County stadium will be distributed on a lottery basis. Requests began flooding the Braves’ ticket office today and only a small percentage of the many applicants will be able to get into the park.Mrs. Rudd, who has been a baseball fan as long as she •an remember, saw her firstall-star game in 1947 at Wrig-ley field in Chicago. She saw the 1950 game at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, then traveled to Detroit in 1951, to Philadelphia in 1952 and to Cleveland in 1954.During their trips to Detroit, Philadelphia and Cleveland, Mrs. Rudd and her three base-ball-fan sons — Ralph, Harold, Jr., and David —- have met and talked with many of the sport’s top personalities. Some of the stars they’ve met are Ray Boone, Bob Lemon, Randy Gumpert, Bobby Shantz, Connie Mack and the DiMaggio brothers, Joe and Dominic.In Detroit they met GooseTatum of Harlem Globetrotter fame and, on the plane trip to Philadelphia, Ralph sat with Frank Leahy, former Notre Dame football coaching great.Mrs. Rudd knows her sports, too. On one occasion she won $100 on the New York Yankees and, another time, she won $80 by forecasting the outcome of a Rose Bowl game. She sent the $180 to Bishop Fulton J. Sheen asa contribution to the Catholicmissions.Now the problem is to get tickets for the all star baseball game at Milwaukee.“I’ll get there if I have to sellhot dogs,” laughed Mrs. Rudd.
