T has been decided to make the series I with the Seals thia week one of eight grumes. There will be two bargain-day bargain-day bills, so that the fans will sot their money's worth In baseball. One of the two games of Saturday will be tlis reconstruction of two-thirds of the eighteenth half-Inning of a game played on June 20, which ended In a 2-2 tie and aiso in a snarl. This reproduction will be the first of tho Saturday card, and no doubt will attract much attention on account ac-count of the fact that ho similar baseball situation ever before has presented itself In Salt Lake or In the Coast league. The game of June 29 was started with a time Umlt of 4 o'clock. That was rendered ren-dered necessary to permit the San Francisco Fran-cisco club to make a train for I6s Angeles. An-geles. Al Gould and Johnny Couch were the opposing pitchers and had engaged In a mighty duel. The Seals hnd two runs arid the Bees none when the last half of the ninth Inning rolled ftt-ourtd,. Sheely, Salt Lake's first batsnian, filed out to Fitzgerald. BUI Rumler knocked a double Into right center, and Marty Krug brought him In with a home-run drlvo over the left-field fence, thus tying the score. Kamm's Wide Heave. ftddle Mulligan hit a. grounder to Willie Itamm, the Seal third haserilan. Willie filing tho ball wide of first base and then the confusion began. Bncouragefl by his teammates, Mulligan raced around the circuit, uninterrupted by Umpire Ed Fin-hey, Fin-hey, who was the field umpire of the day, or by Umpire Bob Bedford, who wan behind the plate. The crowd, thinking the game was oyer and Salt Lake a victor, rushed upon the Held, some 2000 persons gathering for an enthusiastic jollification. After the gamo the umpires explained ; that iVhen Ksmm heaved the ball they ' lost Bight of it. but later discovered that It had bounded Into the grand stand through a hole In the gate. Under ground rules a runner "takes oho and one" on a throw Into the stands. Therefore. Mulligan should .have halted at second The umpires, moreover, said that It would have been Impossible to clear the field and resume play within the fifteen i minutes which remained before the ex- .' plratlon of the time limit. There the matter stood. ' The game was called a tie at 2-atl, and reports were 1 submitted to President A. T. Baum Of the league two Seals Out. TVio o-am will bo reconstructed as fieer- ly as possible Identically as it was left. The same plavers on both sides will be used, but this Is not possible in the case of San Francisco, which club cannot use two of the men who were In the June S9 game. Karl Crandall, who wag the Seals' Second baseman, has joined the Los Angeles An-geles club, and Earl Baldwin, who was The Seal catcher, is out of the game on account of a broken arm. The Salt Lake lineup Is intact. Butch BvlBr follows Mulligan In the hatting order and Al Gould follows Byler. In case Manager Herr decides to Use ft pinch hitter for either of these playtrs, he, of course, can do so, JiiBt as though the game were any ordinary, everyday affair The Bees will aim to get Mulligan home from second base. If they succeed, the game will be won; If they fall, the tenth Inning will be on. June 29 Lineup. Following Is the lineup and batting order which was used In the June 29 game: San Franolsco.

In addition to the two games of Hat-urdav, Hat-urdav, there will also be a double-header Sunday. The double bills will begin at 2 o'clock. Week-day games begin at 3:50. The Bees lost ground against the Angela last week, dropping four of the six games. Ralph Stroud was the only pitcher on the Bee staff who was fortunate enough to emerge victor. He won the first and last games of the series. The failure of the Bees to make an Impression on the Angela no doubt la directly di-rectly attributable to the lack of hitting on the part of our fence-busters. During Dur-ing the week Sheely got only three hits, Rumler only five and Spencer only two. The Los Ahgeles club got sixty-six hits against fifty-six for the Bees, and their hitting gave them ninety-five bases as against seventy-nine for the locals. Also, the Angels went through the week with three errors, while the Bees were charged with eleven. No doubt there will be some stiff battles bat-tles in the Seal-Bee eerlee. Except upon the occasloh of their last encounter, the Seals have trimmed Salt Lake mercilessly. merciless-ly. Upon their first meeting the Seals wdtl five of Seven; upon their second, four of five played to a decision, and upon tholr third meeting the Bees won five or seven. The added game of the Seal series gives the Bees thirty games yet to be played before the season closes. Fifteen of these are with the Tigers, seven with the Oaks and eight with the Seals. Manager KUlefer of the Angels last week signed Pitcher Reppy, a young righthander, right-hander, who has been playing in one of the intermountaln leagues. Reppy was with the Oaks ftnd Beavers for brief spaces. Pitcher Del Crespl has been released by the Coyotes and Pitcher Eddie Klein signed in his place.
