COL. ERODE WILL
 RETURN ID ARIZONA

Colonel A. o. Brodie, U. s. A.. stationed in San Francisco as adju- tant general of the Pacific division, writes to T. J. Laird that he will retire from active military life on next Friday. September 2, having reached the age limit of 62 years. With Mrs. Brodie, he will lmma- distely leave for Prescott. and is en route east to his fornfer home in Iowa for a brief visit He will then proceed to New York city on mining and other business. says the Pres colt Journal-MIner.
 Colonel Brodie will visit the Crown Point mine in the southern part of this county while here. and it is said the preliminary work of resuming operations will receive his personal attention. He owns 6 large interest in that gold property, but owing to his military duties in re- cent years, has not had the oppor- tunity of giving that mine the con sideratiOn due 1t. It Is probable he will again make Arizona his perma- .nent home
 Colonel Brodie was graduated from West Point in 1868, and his first active military service was at Camp Apache. where he distinguish ed himself in fight with Apaches. winning the commendation of the secretary of war. who issued spe- cial order to commemorate his thrilling fight, which was handled by that young officer in a success ful manner. After a few years of service, Colonel Brodie resigned his commission and came to the Tiptop mining district in this county to fol- low mining. At the outbreak of the ] Spanish-American war he was ap- pointed a major in the Rough Rid CTS and afterward was again in civil life. being appointed governor of Arizona by President Roosevelt. He again entered the army, and after about ten years of service, now re- tires to private life. He has a splendid military record. and his re- turn to Arizona will be welcomed by all

 This statement gave rise to much talk at the track that Billings would sum for the great son of Walnut Hill Possibly he will, but even if he does it will avail him little, for well in formed men like Frank c.

NEW MEN MAKE
 SEALS STRONG
Three Are Brought Down for Last Games in Los An geleS, and One Is a
 Star
t3 HITS OUT OF 34 AT BAT

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 30.-Three new players were brought down by san Francisco to play against Yer non and los Angeles and out of this trio Danny Long and Captain Kic Mohler appear to have picked at least one star. The others have shown up well, but their luster appears to have been dimmed by the sensational work of Holland, who is holding down the right garden for the Seals. Smith, who daily is seen in the middle patch. and Tanning, one of the Seals two new pitchers, fill out the trio.
 If Holland can keep up the pace he has shown in Los Angeles he soon will be the idol of the San Francisco fans. He has proved that he can handle himself in the field, because he has pulled of some of the best catches seen at Washington park. He Is not slow in bGse-steaiing, for he has two steals to his credit in the first four games, out Of the small number allowed by the Vernon catch CTS and pitchers. But 1t is at the stick that he has proyen himself the artist. Out Of thirty-four times credited at the bat, he has laced the ball for thirteen hits.
 Smih and Tanning Do Well
 Smith has been doing fair work in center, but he has been dimmed by Hollands light He is holding down the garden ina cFeditable manner.
 Tanning was given a chance to show what he could do in the south for the first time in yesterdays game. After the Seals were almost hope lessly behind, Mohler sent him in to pitch the seventh inning. He did well. He allowed one hit and q pass; no damage was done. That is more than can be said of the ether pitchers.
 Tanning has a partner on the San Francisco team who came from the same league he did, but who did not take the trip south this time. His name is Moves, and he has pitched only one-haif an inning for the Seals. The reason he did not come down was because he failed to warm up when Long told him 10 do so. It was dur ing the latter part of the game, and there were seven pitchers around. Moves was told to warm up and the rest of the pitchers started fer me clubhouse. Moves followed them and when the Seals needed another pitch CT in the ninth not one could be found. They were all in the street clothes. Result: Noyes remained at home.
 Witt and Miller Corners
 Witt is another player who has been doing good work this week. He has plenty of ginger in him and the way Ee covers the ground around tAat third sack is a caution.
 Miller lost his game against the Villagers yesterday, but he is rated a good pitcher while working in this city.
 It is claimed that the reason the Seals have not been closer te the leaders than they have been is be- cause of diseord in their ranks. This talk has been heard about almost every club iR the league. Long, no doubt. is not popular with some of the players, but there is no doubt but that the players are giving the club the best there is in them.
