To win the bet so she can get her $49.50 hat (which must have been equal to $250 in today's dollars back then!), Lucy cheats by trying to make Ricky lose his temper. In the process she ruins his nice white dress coat with tomato juice and bends one of his golf clubs to get him mad.
I'm sure those two things cost as much if not more than her $49.50 hat. So Ricky is right how she has a complete careless disregard for his money. I hope he took the cost of the coat and golf club out of her allowance money afterwards.
