Manager Eddie Herr brings word that President Baum of the league has ordered or-dered the reconstruction of the game of June 29 between the Seals and the Bees, which broke up in confusion with a tied acore In the nl-nth inning. By the ruling, the game will be staged as a part of a doubleheader upon the occasion of San Francisco's return to Salt Lake. Salt Lake will be at bat, with Mulligan on second base as a result of Willie Kamm's wild heave to first. It will be recalled that A! Gould and Johnny Couch hooped up In a real pitching pitch-ing battle; that the Seals made two In the eighth and that the Bees made two In the ninth. The nl.nth opened with Sheely flying out to Fitzgerald In right. Rumlor doubled and Krug knocked a homer. Those two runs tied the score. Thon Kamm threw the ball away on Mulligan's Mul-ligan's grounder. The umpire lost sight of the ball and Mulligan was waved home. Ho should have halted at second base.
