LOUIS (A-Stan (The Man) Musial, St. Louis Cardinals veter an outfielder who already owns most of baseball's batting honors, may find the key to an elusive home run crown through a bit of carpentry work on Busch Stadium. The club decided yesterday to take down the screen in front of tlM right field pavilion a move which cuts 25 feet 2 inches off the distance needed for a homer. The screen, which since 1930 baa been known as a pitcher's friend, extends from the right field foul line -158 feet toward center field. A batter, in the past, had to loft the ball over the screen to , the pavilion roof, which is 36 feet $ inches above ground level.

Winding up 2 n days of delibera tions, the committee Wednesday adopted six changes in uie rules and made two strong appeals to coaches for more honest and care ful observance of other Important rules. a,-, Two of the three ruler changes were designed to prevent unfair deception on offense the outlaw ing of the "hideout" play and a new proviso concerning plays where a middle lineman (tackle, guard or center) becomes eligible to receive forward passes. Another will help keep the defense "honest" by providing more opportunities for fake place kicks. The most important change was in the substitution rule a short step backward from the "no pla toon" rule adopted two years ago. This will permit any player who, starts a Quarter to leave the game and re-enter once during that quar ter, 1-onaierauy, uie iour-minui "segment" in the second and fourth quarters was eliminated. Bur the committee decided not to try this time to solve two of its biggest headaches false starts and elbow blocks by changing the rules. Instead, a strong appeal will be addressed to officials and com missioners for stricter enforce ment of the rules and to coaches to observe them. It was the second straight year the committee had declined to change the rule on false starts after a hullabaloo over "sucker shifts" in 1953. Last year an ap peal to coaches and officials, plus some fresh interpretations, brought "considerable improvement, ac cording to committee chairman H. O. (FriU) Crisler of Michigan.

"I think it will be a tempting target," Musial remarked, obvi ously thinking about the 310-foot distance to the base of that wall. The distance at the point the screen ends is 354 feet. Stan led the Cardinals with 31 homers last season and belted 10 balls off the screen, hits that will go out of the park this season.

He scarcely can fail to go in by a whopping plurality this time. . Actually, the great center fielder should nave joined the immortals last year, for he was a mightier star than any of the three who were named, but sentiment appar ently forced him to wait his turn. Realizing that DiMaggio was a cinch to reach the hall eventually, a certain number . of veteran, writers evidently preferred to stack their votes in such a way as to make sure their olden idols got in before they could be forgotten by a younger generation of ex perts.' A total of 252 writers cast ballots last year, each of them nominat in 10 players. To be elected to the shrine, it is necessary that a play er's name appear upon at least 75 per cent of the ballots. Thus, 189 voters were required for election. Maranville received 209, Dickey 202 and Terry 195. DiMaggio fell short with 175. Next to him was Ted Lyons, the famous pitcher of the Chicago White Sox from 1924 through '42, wth 170 votes.
