NEW YORK, Aug. l5-tUP) -
Commissioner KeneSaw Mountain
Lands, he of the famous white
hair. had better get his pitching
arm in shape. for he'll probably have
to throw the book" at the players
in this years world series, poten-
TALLY the bitterest classic in base
ball history
The fall extravaganza is still
about six weeks away. But there S
little doubt that the New York
Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers will
represent their respective leagues,
both having already Travelled far
ahead of the field Today the two
clubs, at odds ever since Mickey
Owens missed third strike last Oc-
tober, are heaping fuel on one of
the games fastest-growing feuds.
Both teams still consider last
years series an unsatisfactory
stand-off because Owens lapse ap-
parently changed the complexion
Of the entire series. An especially
bitter taste has been left with prexy
Larry MacPhail of the Dodgers,
who wanted to win last October
but now is consumed by dogged
desire to humble the American
league champions when they meet
again.
HINT OF FUTURE
Remember what tension rippled
through the last series when pitcher
Whit Wyatt of the Dodgers and out
fielder Joe DiMaggio exchanged
torrid phrases over an alleged
bean bali bulleted across by the
Brooklyn tosser? Bear in mind that
the incident involved the compare
lively mild-mannered veteran wyatt
and the definitely en-tempered
DiA1aggiO.
It's only natural. of course, that
men like MacPhail baseball's radi-
cal, and Ed Barrow, the Yankees
conservative, Manager Leo Duroch-
er, the Lip" and Joe Mccarthy
the tight jawed pilot, should clash
But now their natural feuds have
been famed TO raging intensity by
clash in current dates.

fneSS in the main event at san
| Diego's Coliseum. He was clearly
outclassed in the first six rounds
and was only saved by the bell
from a knockout in the seventh.
In that frame Hogue bore in in
an effort to cut down the lead
built up by Booker's cool and me-
thodical actions. Booker unleashed
five or six power rights to Hogues
head that sent him reeling about
the ring. Only the bell kept Book
er from following his advantage and
cooling the curly-haired veteran
of Imperial Valley amateur and pro-
fessional bouts.
In the eighth a bad cut was
opened over Shorty's eye. His sec
onds petitioned the referee to stop
the fight after the round.
Hogue had won the title from
Booker year ago after a series
of three spirited brawls. The first
fight was declared a draw; Booker
was given the decision in the sec
ond meeting, and Hogue took the
crown in the third Since then
Hogue has not defended his title.
Far from the form that saw him
capture the national amateur am
ateur title couple year ago and
later batter one after another pro-
fessional opponent was Shorty Fri
day. From the opening round it
was apparent that the only way
he could hope to gain the victory
was by lucky punch. His opening
never came.

Joe Medwick Earns Praise

NEW YORK, Aug. 15-CUP) =
Outfielder Joe Medwick of the
Brooklyn Dodgers appears to be
headed for designation as the senior
circuits most valuable player.
Naturally, with almost six weeks
of the season yet to go, much can
happen to help or hinder Medwick' S
chances of winning the coveted
award. But if the ballots were to
be cast today, the muscular slugger
would carry it off by decisive plur-
ality.
Medwick, although he'll have
tough competition from Mickey
owen, Pete Reiser and Peewee
Reese, has performed ably enough
to top the club and the league. He
poked a pair Of hits in each game
as the Dodgers drubbed the Braves
twice yesterday, 100 and 7-3, to
raise his runner-up batting mark
in the National league to 1926 and
his loop leading runs-batted in-total
to 70.
TIES FOR LEAD
One of his hits in the first game
was a double, tying him for the
league lead in that department with
Stan Hack of the Cubs, each haV-
ing 30. His four hits pulled him
to 1876. just two short of the leagues
best mark, held by Enos Slaughter
of the Cardinals.
Curt Davis held the Braves to
seven hits in the first game for his
18th win while Brooklyn belted out
Is hits. Whit Wyatt allowed only
eight blows in the nightcap as the
Dodgers collected IL. 1t was Wyatts
14th victory.
Dolph Camilli hit a homer in
each game for Brooklyn to tic for
the league lead at 10 with Johnny
Mize of the Giants. Camillis first
homer in the opener came with two
on and climaxed a four-run Dodg-
ers assault in the first off Nanny
Salvo. Camilli clouted his other
four Dagger in the third inning of
the nightcap. Pete Reiser also
Clipped in with a circuit clout in the
seventh inning of the second game
Mort Cooper went the route for
the second time since June 30 as
he pitched the Cardinals to a two
hit, 40 triumph over the Reds last
night. Cooper notched his seventh
shutout of the year as he gave up
singles to Bert Haas in the first and
Frank Mccormick in the fourth.

PITCHERS FINED

The Dodgers already have become
one of the most unpopular clubs in
their own loop, being accused of
Using clusters" and bean balls. ;
SO flagrant did the violations be-
come in recent Dodgers Braves
brawl that wyatt and Boston pitch
er Nanny Salvo were both fined and
league prexy Ford Frick issued a
manifesto calling for an automatic
fine of 5000 against the manager
of a pitcher accused of purposely
throwing q. bean-ball.
Such incidents have only brought
further dislike of the Brooks from
the Yankees so they're readying for
a torrid return bout with The
Buns"
There may not be much umpire
batting or bean-balling this fall
since the presence Of Judge Lands
and his ready baseball law books
have a considerable influence on
most baseball belligerents. Neverthe-
/ less, the placid Yankees are not SO
placid now and are ready TO fight
fire with fire.
In effect, that is the current re-
action of the entire club. Manager
Mccarthy, always reluctant to dis
cuss things of this nature, indicat-
ed though that his team would not
rely on umpires or $500 fines to
protect them. if and when anyone

The Yankees have scheduled a

preparing to 90 all out to make the
American league contribution a
noteworthy gesture. But unfortun-
ately, the Dodgers and Giants are
playing a doubleheader on the same
date.
The American league has Jagged
far behind the National league in
swelling the charity Golfers of the
services since the Dodgers and
Giants alone in two games have
poured sl5O.0OO into the two funds.
The YANKEES had hoped their twin
bill with Washington would wipe
away some of this unfortunate
deficit and, almost to man, the
club feels that the Dodgers-Giants
game should be switched to another
date in order not to affect attend

How to Convert Oil Burners
WPB Issues Question-ond- Answer
Summary on Home Heating Problem

buy a new boiler that will burn
coal and have it installed?
Conserve Fuel Oil.
A. No. A new boiler cannot be
sold except to defense manufactur-
ing plants and others, having pri-
ority ratings. Persons who have
boilers that can't be converted
should take steps to conserve fuel
oil by insulation.
@. My oil burner is old and very
inefficient. Can I buy a new oil
burner and thus save oil?
A. No. The sale of new oil burn
ers is restricted to rated orders.
Furthermore, in many States a
WPB order prohibits the sale OF
Oil to new equipment.
@. I have two heating boilers
One of these is fired with oil and
the other, fired with coal, is used
only in severe weather. Can I get
oil and continue to heat my build
ing as I have in the past?
A. In most States delivery OF
fuel oil is prohibited to any one
who has standby equipment unless
that equipment is being used to its
maximum capacity. This would
mean that you would have to re-
verse your old procedure and use
the coal-fired boiler for as much
of the season as you possibly could
In that case, you would be entitled
to receive some Oil to supplement
your coal-fired boiler in severe
weather.
Hot-Water Equipment.
G. My oil burner is so installed
that I get my domestic hot-watel
supply from it. If I convert to Goa
what can I do about this?
A. This matter should be taken uT
with your local plumber or heating
contractor. 1t may be that by con.
verting you will not get as much
hot water. However, you will b
assured Of an adequate supply o
heat. which is more important.
@. My heating man tells me tina
| If I convert to coal my boiler vii
not be large enough. Can I put il
an extra section?
A. No, not without preference
rating. It should be realized, how
ever, that the entire capacity OF
boiler is used only during the mos
severe weather and that most of tn
time the boiler will be large enough
@. How can conversion job

A. Conversion jobs have been re
moved from the credit-time restric

Owners now can apply to a locs
bank and arrange to finance tn

Drastic Transport Decree
Is Issued by Germans

BERN, Sept. 24-How serious the
Nazi authorities consider Germany's
transport problem is disclosed in a
far-reaching decree, just issued by
the Berlin Ministry of Economics,
which practically suppresses what
freedom remains for domestic deliv-
cries.
To ease the strain on the Reich's S
sorely overtaxed transportation sys-
TENS, certain branches Of German
economy have for some time been
curtailed. German bakers, for in
stance, are forbidden to deliver
bread distances greater than 50 kill
ometerS t31 niles. Beer cannot be
shipped farther than $50 kilometers
(l55 niles.
Under the new decree such meas
ures are to apply to almost all goods
within Germany. In the future
manufacturers will not be allowed
to sell goods for delivery wherever
they like, while consumers will moi
be able to go far afield for pur-
| chases.
With the disastrous results Of lasl
winters transport crisis still fresh
in their minds, the Nazis now put
this problem first. It's solution
