THE INTERMEDIATE
LEAGUE LAUNCHED
PIRATES CLEAN UP THE CUBS
AND THE BRAVES DEFEAT
THE GIANTS.

The Y. NJ. C. A. Intermediate
league basketball was started yes
terday afternoon with two games. The
Pirates walked away from the Cubs
in one-sided affair with the final
score 10 to 3. Both teams were a bit
disorganized and played pretty much
with a scrap lineup. Better team
work is promised for next week when
the captains will have a line on their
men.
The Braves defeated the Giants in
an unusually good game by the score
of II to IL. The game was undecided
until the last minute of play and was
full of neat plays. Both teams showed
some splendid material and should de-
velop into strong aggregations.
James Perkins refereed both games.
Bob Yates, scorer. Thames, timer.
The lineup of the teams follows:
Pirates Mayer and Rowland, for
wards; Watkins, center; Bear and
Jeudevine, guards.
Cubs-Fauria and Sims, forwards;
Burroughs, center; Osgood and Kehoe,
guards.
Morgan and Bell, for
wards; Olsen, center; Vaughn and
Creary, guards.
Giants anderson and Caro-, for
wards; Friedman, center; Hoffman
and Camden, guards.

]. s. WAL TON DIES
AF TER A LONG AND
PAINT Ill ILLNESS.
DEMISE OCCURRED AT EARLY
HOUR THIS MORNING AT HIS
HOME, BUT FUNERAL HOUR
NOT BEEN DECIDED UPON.

J. S. Walton, aged 4s years, ex-
pfred this morning at 1870 o'clock
after a lingering illness. Although
his death had been not unexpected
by some of his closest friends and
relatives, still when the Grim Reaper
did call for the soul OF the we'll
known citizen, it was severe shock,
and many will read of his demise this
morning with real regret.
The deceased resided at 400 East
Mallory street, and had been a resi-
dent of Pensacola for about % years.
He had first made his home at Ferry
Pass, where for some years he work
ed 60 an inspector of timber, later en-
terillg the brick business at another
part of the county. For some ten or
twelve years, however, he had been
a resident of Pensacola, and had
raised large and interesting fam
lily. He is survived by his wife, four
sons and two daughters. His daugh-
tiers are Misses Beth and Ida Wal
ton, while his sons are Jessie, Victor,
Jamie and Cecil. During his resi-
dence in Pensacola he engaged in
the buying and selling of secondhand
machinery, and had numerous friends
here.
While the hour for the funeral had
not been determined up 70 the hour
of going to press this morning, it is
possible that it will occur at some
hour on Monday. Deceased was a
Mason of long standing, and the Ma
sonic order will take charge Of the
ceremonies.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
1ustre to the hair when faded,
strealzed or gray; also ends dandruff,
itching scalp and stops falling hair.
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug
store for "Weyth's- Sage and Sulphur
Compond," you will get large bottle
of this famous old recipe for about
sc cents.
Don't stay grayi Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You danpen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy.-Adv.
