FIcKLENEss OF FANS
 PUT TO A TEST
Fans Anxious Concerning tho Loss ei
 the Big Three in Athletic Lineup.

The fortunes of the Philadelphia Athletics ir 1915, minus the stars who made the team one of the greatest, if not the most powerful, in baseball his- tory, will be a subject of the lkeeneet interest from two angles. Baseball fans the country over will first of all be curious to see what the three time winners of the worlds championship are able to accomplish with Collins, Plank, Bender and possibly others who may go before next season. And the men identified with the business end of the game win make areful note of thepublic attitude toward the recon structed team with a view of learning whether uncertain baseball is more popular than winning baseball.
 Last year the Athletics lost money simply and solely because the element of doubt was removed from the con-

starting switch is thrown When the motor is cranked by hand the ne- cessity of easy starting is so obvious that nothing more need be said
 It is difficult to start combustion in a gasoline motor when it is cold for three reasons, all of which tend to produce too weak a mixture; gasoline does not vaporize readily at tow tenn pefatures, does not flow from the car buretor nozzle as freely and the lower the temperature the larger the charges that are taken into the cylin- ders. It is a well known physical fact that as a gas grows colder 1t con- tracts so that greater weight is con- tained in a given volume.
 If the temperature is not too low, it mixture, but in very cold weather 1t may be necessary to, provide a fuel which Yaporizes more readily than or dtnary gasoline, and in any case start ing will be facilitated by it's use.
 Of the common fuels that vaporize more readily than gasoline may be mentioned ether. Sulphur diozide may also be used, but its large sulphur content might corrode the wearing surfaces High test gasoline, which may be purchased in a drug store may also be used to advantage
 These fuels may be used by SQuirt- ing small amount into each cylinder through the compression cocks or a primer may be attached to the car and the fuel introduced into the manifold. Either way is good. A primer may be made or bought. It consists essentially of a tank holding about a piint and a pipe running to the manifold Just below the tank there is valve for controlling the flow of fuel. Before the motor is cranked this valve is turned long enough for enough fuel to flow into the manifold to start the motor,
 Ordinary gasoline used in any of the methods described above will aid in starting the motor. although it is not so effective as the fuels that vaporize more readily.
 The automobile races for 1915 have been announced, and will consist of eight big grinds. The first will be held New Years day at Tucson, Ariz., and Is the annual New Years day road race The second race will be held Jan. as part of the San Diego ex- position.

This will be over a tough workout for the cars for the big Vanderbilt race, that Amer. ican classic in automobile racing to be held Washington's birthday, Feb. g, at the Panama-Pacifice exposition This will really be the opening of this btg exposition.
