New York, Aug. IS - U.P) - Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landls. 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 potentially the biggest classic in baseball his- tory.
 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.
 MacPhaiI "SOre"
 Both teams still consider last years series an unsatisfactory standoff because Owens lapse ap- parently changed the complexion of the entire series. An especially bit- ter taste has been left with Proxy Larry MacPhail of the Dodgers, who wanted to win last October but now is consumed by dogged desire to humble the American League cham pions when they meet again.
 Remember what tension rippled through the last series when Pitcher Whit Wyatt of the Dodgers and Outfielder Joe DiMaggio exchanged torrid phrases over an alleged 'bean-ball" bulleted across by the Brooklyn tosser? Bear in mind that the incident involved the compara- lively mild hammered veteran Wyatt and the definitely even- tempered DiMaggio. Then you have a hint of what is in the offing.
 It's only natural, of course, that men like MacPhail, baseball's radi- cal, and Ed Barrow, the Yankees conservative; Manager Leo Duro- cher, the Lip" and Joe Mccarthy, the tight-jawed pilot, should clash. But now their natural" feuds have been famed to raging intensity by 8 clash in current dates.
 The Yankees have scheduled a program with the Senators at the Bronx ballyard on August B for the benefit of Army and Navy Relief, preparing to go all out to make the American League contribution a noteworthy gesture. But unfortun- ately, the Dodgers and Giants are playing doubleheader at Ebbets field on the same date.
 The American League has Jagged far behind the National League in swelling the charity coffers of the services since the Dodgers and Giants alone in two games have poured almost $150, 900 into the two funds. The Yankees had hoped their twin bill with Washington would wipe away some of this un- fortunate deficit and, almost to a man, the club feels that the Dod- gers Giants game should be switch ed to another day in order not to affect attendance in the Bronx.
 The Dodgers already have become one of tn emost unpopular clubs in their own loop, being accused of using Clusters" and "bean- -balls". So fagran tdid the violations become in a recent Dodgers-BraveS brawl that Wyatt and Boston Pitcher Nanny Salvo were both fined and League Proxy Ford Prick issued a manifesto calling for an automatic fine of $200 against the manager of a pitcher accused of purposely throwing a bean ball.
 Such incidents have only brought further dislike of the Brooks from the Yankees. So they're readying for 9 torrid return bout with "The Bums."
 There may not be much umpire batting or bean-balling this Fall, since the presence of Judge Landis and his baseball law books have a considerable influence on most base ball belligerents. Nevertheless, the placid Yankees are not so placid now and ar ready to fight fire with fire.
 In effect, that is the current re- action of the entire club.
 Manager Mccarthy, always reluc- tant to discuss things of this na- ture, indicated though that his team would not rely on umpires or $2O0 fines to protect them, If and when anyone begins the beam.
 Mccarthy mentioned no names. But since the American League has had no trouble with pitching of that sort, and the only National Leaguers the Tanks are likely to meet will be the Dodgers, well-and should the Dodgers Giants bill really pare down the Yankees charity crowd, the fur will really fly come series
