Los Angeles to Have Fine
Auto Race Course

Los ANGELES. Dec. Los Angeles
will have the finest race course in the
United States for automobiles If the
plan of a group of capitalists are con-
summated.
The proposition is to lease Ascot
park for a term of IA years. 1t is
planned TO cement the track and bank
the turns so steeply that very high
speed can be maintained. The only
other speedway in the world that Will
compare with the proposed track at
Ascot park is the famous Brooklands
track of England.
The directorate will be composed of
members of the automobile dealers
association of southern California, and
all automobile races will be held under
the auspices of that association.
A certified check was posted today
with the directors of the Los Angeles
jockey club and the deal is practically
closed. Work Will be begun as soon as
the negotiations are completed. and
1t is expected that the track will be
ready for race meet as early as jan
