NO MORE COLD MOTORS
New Device Warns Them
 Up in a Few Minutes

Chas. C. and Geo. c. James. who recently perfected the James Fuel Thermos, have just announced the satisfactory practical working of the James Electric Thermos for heating he circulation system of automobiles 70 prevent freezing and rendering them easy to start.
 The new invention is small cleo tric heater about six inches long and about two inches in diameter, with connection pipes on each end. One end connects with the drain cock at the bottom of the radiator from which it gets its supply of cold water. The other end connects with the lower water manifold into which the water passes after it has been heated. The hot water then circulates through the water jackets of all the cylinders and after heating the cylinders flows through the upper manifold into the radiator where 1t continues circulating tbroughout the water system The Therrnos is equipped with a socket which can be connected in a moment wherever electric current is available.
 This device should prove boon to the thousands of owners of motor cars who put them in cold garages. where their motors get chilled. and render starting so difficult that many sorego the pleasure of motoring rath- zr than attempt to crank their motor.
 The device will keep a motor warm indefinitely. but by turning the cur .ent on a few minutes before starting will suffice to warm the motor, put :he gasoline in a state of vaporizatton and liquify congealed oils.

Jeannette And
 Johnson May Meet
Boxing Promoters in Paris Anxious to Sage Bout
 Between HeavyweigntS

Joe Jeannette for France to-day and if plans now under way come to a sat isfactory conclusion Jack Johnson, the
 worlds champion heavyweight, will defend his title from Joe in gay Paris. The two colored men have been firing verbally at one another for seveIAl months without result.
 Johnson is practica ly barred in Au- stralta and the doors are locked on him in England, so France is aboat the only suitable battle-ground. The maduros can secure a big purse in France. When fighters of the order of Harry Lewis and Carpenter can draw $21.00O gate and Willie Lewis and Billy Papke fight for $24.O0O, one may only GG ass the sum the big mem would D ay to. Fifty thousand dollars would seem a conservative estimate.
 Despite the fact that Johnson is talking of boxing Jib Flynn in Neva- da, that match will dwindle into noth- ingness if satisfactory arrangements can be made for the Paris fray. Two French promoters are here angling for the big match. Jeannette figures as the most logical rival for Johnson and Joe is very popu ar in Paris. John son insists upon $90.0O0 for his share of any battle. He can get that amount across the pond it Is said.

Dan O'NieI H0pes To Move To HoIyoke

HoIyoke, Feb. Each passing hour strengthens the belief of local on the baseball map this year by Dan ONeil. While Manager O'Neil de- clares that he hasn't made up his straws point to the transfer of the Waterbury club to the Paper City early next week.
 Manager O'NeiI said last night that President James H. O'Rourke would call a meeting of the directors of the Connecticut league next Monday or Tuesday to consider the final dispo- sition of the Waterbury franchise. Until that time,'' said Manager O'Neil, ''I do not care to say whether or not I will stick to Waterbury or remove to Holyoke. The league di- rectors certainly used me white when they granted me permission to re- and I think I should give them the first word as to where I am going to be located the coming season. I have received many assurances of support from Holyoke fans and the interest that this talk of transferring the Waterbury team here has aroused, is certainly Q, pleasant surprise to me-
 Manager O'Neil said that Secretary Morton Hull of the Holyoke Board of Trade called on him yesterday and that they would meet again today by appointment, when the question of transferring the Waterbury club here will be discussed. The scheme of sell HIS 1OV SStdSOH tlChelS dI 10 d llCkEIs in order to raise enough money to clear up the back debts of the old Holyoke Baseball association, has proved ve'-V successful. It is expect ed that all of the tickets will have been disposed of by today. Manager O'NeiI said that he was still waiting to hear from Messrs. Becton and F7itz..taurice of Waterbury, who de- sire him to pay them s1,5OO before he can use the Waterbury grounds. but apparently he doesn't care whether he ever heard from them again or not.
