BY JACK BERRY There'll be some changes made Thursday when the Red Wings try to get back in the Stanley Cup running.

Coach Sid Abel said Wednesday he's going to bring up a forward from the taxi squad and either Warren Godfrey or Pete Goegan will join the defense corps. Bob Wall had to be returned to Pittsburgh since Goegan is recovered from an already stretched-out case of the flu. Wall was called up last week as an emergency replacement for Goegan. ABEL WOULDN'T name the new forward but a good guess would be husky Doug Roberts, the Cooley High-Michigan State product and former football All-Stater. Abel likes the 6-foot-2, 210-pound rookie right wing's hard shot.

Roberts tied for Memphis' scoring leadership with 20 goals in the Central League. Roberts does well in the heavy going and that's what Abel is demanding more aggressiveness to catch up to and then pass favored Chicago. The Wings have punished Chicago severely but still trail In games in the series, 2-1, and must win three of four to make the finals. Detroit has hit harder and more consistently in the three games than it did all season. But there have been letups and for the Wings to beat the Hawks, it takes a full 60-min-ute effort.

Roller said he considered his decision "fair." "All we need is for one recognize the finding." Roller, 64. and showing the strain of the five weeks of trial in the historic and unprecedented suit, worked for nearly a solid 36 hours In his chambers in the last stage to get the verdict out. MILWAUKEE (LTD Circuit Judge Elmer Roller Wednesday night ordered the Braves back from Atlanta for this season unless the National League agrees to expand to include Milwaukee in 1967. Roller ordered the league to give him a written plan for expansion by 12 noon May 16 or the Braves will have to return on May 18.

Roller, in ruling that Wisconsin's "little Sherman Antitrust Act" applied to baseball, described his verdict as a "come back or else deci one state to recognize court proceedings in state. The outcome gives the city a chance for a second "miracle of Milwaukee" in major league baseball to match the record setting fan turnout that greeted the Braves when they first came here in 1953 from Boston and started the movement of major league franchises.

Watson hitting him on the knee as you might expect. "No comment," Hull said wryly, making a face at the mention of his "shadow."

Charlie Dressen said he will stick with Dennis McLain and Billy Monbouquette. The Yankee pitchers should be Mel Stottlemyre and Bob P'nend.

The forecast, though, is for more rain Thursday. So, the Tigers had more time to admire. Tuesday's handiwork. It was an artful job, too, with many signs that speak well for the team. The thing most pleasing to Dressen was the performance of Mickey Lolich after a frightful spring.

Lolich's earned run average had soared well over 5.00 in Florida and his control had been erratic. MORE OMINOUS was the fact that he would sag after three or four innings, or after being on base. Dressen still eloesn't quite know what to make of Lolich's pot belly. He takes its presence as an affront to his training routine and darkly suggested, after Mickey was hammered in Houston last Friday, that maybe the pitcher hadn't worked out as hard as he should have during the training period. All this was forgotten In the light of Lolich's strong nine-inning effort.

Elston Howard led the Yankees in admiration of Lolich's pitching. "I never fouled off so many pitches," he said. "Lolich has a fast ball that can stay down and tail away so you only scoop up a piece of it. "His change up was so good I didn't even swing." HOWARD'S usiasm was more restrained when it came to Norm Cash's game-winning single in the ninth.

The bellboys, then the bell captain and finally the manager of the hotel itself tried to clear the lobby of the autograph hounds. They'd have done better out at Coney Island sweeping the waves out to sea.

The little vultures kept coming back, slipping in through the side doors, up the back stairs, from behind the potted plants everywhere except out of the woodwork. A chilly mist was falling outside and the Tigers were sitting around the lobby waiting for word whether their game against the Yankees would be called, which it was. The players were trying to read their morning papers but the vultures wouldn't let them. They kept swooping in from all angles. "Why don't you kids walk east 'til your hats float," Denny McLain suggested.

Al Kaline, offered a counter suggestion. "Go play in the traffic, willya!" The players didn't mind affixing their names to the small white file cards thrust before them. But the same kids were asking them again and again for their autographs. These were budding New York businessmen who already knew how to make a buck.

Here was a pigeon. He stood there and signed and signed and signed. The kids pushed one card after another at him, but somehow they seemed dismayed, and soon they drifted away from Demeter.

But Cash's hit off the left hander Ford, after looking awful his previous three times up, was another good omen. Dressen was still undecided on how great a role Mickey Mantle will be able to play in revitalizing the Yanks. "What can I say about Mickey in the opener?" Dressen asked. "He hit but he did not have a ball to handle all day, so what can I say?" Dressen had more to say about Ford, though, after playing the villain in the first inning and stripping Whitey of his hand-warmer. "He says that made him a Charlie mused.
