Referee Thomas J. Ledwich.
John A. McNaugnton, president
of the Los Angeles union stockyards
and a former member of the state
racing commission, came to San
Francisco today with the announced
intention of buying the jinxed track.
s McNaughon said his group was
working closely with the Santa Fe
railroad. which owns the ground on
which the track was built. He de-
clined TO name his associates.
: A second interested group is head

member, and includes Charles S.
Howard, his son, Lindsay: Bing

three months ago but dropped ne
gotiations when it appeared Golden
Gate stockholders could reorganize
successfully.
A third interested group was re-
ported headed by Mervyn Leroy,
Hollywood finn producer.
Under Referee Ledwich's order,
the Albany track will be put up for
sale July II at the Alameda county
courthouse unless creditors have
found a plan for reorganization by
that time.

to the state tournament since

Il was an amazing finish which
the Lincoln hoopsters dished up in
the final eight minutes after the
two city rivals had battled for
three periods to a 27-27 deadlock.
The fourth period wasn't
80 seconds underway when
Ray Spurgeon took a bead on
the basket and canned a long
two handler from back Of the
foul circle. That WAS the bas-
ket which put Lincoln ahead,
never to be headed.
For four minutes the game hung
in balance as one Lincoln foul con-
version and two Stadium CONVEX
sions made it 1920.
Light Fireworks
Here Ing Thompson was fouled
by Ray Hagen as the red-haired
Lincoln center was in the act of
shooting. Thompson made both
foul shots and seemingly his sec
ond one touched off the fireworks.
In 20 seconds Lincoln had
seven more points. q basket

basket by Logan Blades and
a rebound by Vince Hanson.
That made the score 1929 with
a minute to 60 and Lincoln rooters,
sensing their first trip to the state
tourney, began TO go in dances of
joy as the final seconds licked
off.
Stadium Set Pace
For three periods it looked as
II Stadium was going to annex its
18th successive city championship.
The Tigers trailed 81 the first
quarter but led 20-15 at halftime
and held a 25-1s lead with thrc

Fifteen seconds later another
long pass from Sturgeon was
hauled down by Thompson. who
eluded his guard and tossed in an
other short setup to make the
score 1924
Abes Rolling
The Abes were really rolling.
The Lincoln stands reverberated
with the half-hopeful, half-confi-

A moment later Logan Blades
zoomed in a nifty pass to Vince
