POOH BAH OF
 INLET DOWNED
Submits Ultimatum to COnqueror of Cordova and Is Called, but
 Subject RevOlts

For a time today it seemed as if the baseball series between Seward and Anchorage for the championship of Southwestern Alaska would be can celled. but the Seward and Anchorage Chambers of Commerce have the mat ter in hand and may reach terms on which the games can be played.
 When members of the Chamber were at Anchorage recently, Harry Hoben, manager of the local team and member of the Board of Directors, to- gether with other members, had a con ference with the Anchorage ball chiefs in which they suggested a series for the 2Sth, 29th and 90th. At that time it was stated by Hoben that, coming just before the first of the month, such schedule would possibly prevent a large crowd from going over to see the series and he suggested playing Aug ust 4, 5 and 9th. It was agreed that either series of dates was satisfactory with Anchorage.
 All went well and arrangements have been made for the big expedition to leave here next week. So great is the general interest in the series that a crowd is coming through on the Alaska from Cordova to see the con test.
 This morning the whole situation went up in the air when Fred Tracy, erstwhile Pooh Bah of Anchorage baseball circles, called up Hoben, the "Conqueror of Cordova," and said, the big games will be played the 2Sth, 29th and 30th, or not at all"
 You can't bluff Hoben and he said: "Not at all suits me-"
 Over in the Inlet they held coun- cil of war and shortly a member of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce called up and said that a revolution had followed receipt of Hoben's an swer to Tracy'S ultimatum and that the dictator had been hurled from his throne.
 The provisional governments under direction of the council of commission and laborers' delegates, sent word that further information would be forth coming through Premier Westerman, of the Chamber of Commerce tonight.
 Locally, the matter was placed in the hands of the Stewards Chambers directorate.
 The overland transport service has broken down, under stress of new con struction, and R. J. Welr, head of this division, threw his forces into the breach in favor of games beginning August 4th.
 "I want to see those games" said Weir, "and I can't go now. Big shots were fired at Mile 1912 and Mile IA yesterday and the track will be block ed for a week"
 The local fans got together in Cot ter'S store this morning and sent greetings to the Anchorage fans, urg- ing them to use all possible remedies for cold feet.
