 Havana, Feb 6-UP)-Cubans who oppose the regime of Presi- dent Gcrardo Machado are looking hopefully toward the approaching change of administration in Wash ington. They believe 1t may mean American intervention in isiand af- fairs.
 Opposition leaders are concerned over their personal safetey and restoration of constitutional rights. They feel that guarantees cannot he secured unless the United states intervenes. For that reason they hope for new type of American ambassador hero and a new policy toward Cuba in the Washington state department. Aside from tho younger group Of th opposition-the young students who have been engaging in terror istlc activities, none of tho Mncha- do regime dares raise his head. | Scores of older men, among them leading jurists, physicians, and mem bers of the faculty of the Uni yersity of Havana which has been closed for moro than two years, have fled the country in the fear that they might meet the fate of the three Freyre Andrade brothers, who were killed at their homo early last fall. The opposition attributed the killing to the police.
 Even many members of the na- tional congress, whose status as legislators might be held to guar antee their immunity from mur- dorous attack, feel unsafe. At this writing, six eminent Cubans remain in refuge in the Mexican embassy and tho Uruguayan legation. Efforts to obtain passports for them to leave the country, extending over several weeks, have failed.
 President Machado has constant ly declared both in press interviews and in official statements that hls dearest hope is to reach concllia- ton with the opposition. He has sent m cmissary to former Presi- dent Mario c. Menogal. who Is in exile at Miami, Fla. but Menocal re- fused to treat with the government on behalf of his fellow exiles.
 The president promises q free election In November, 1884. and in' sists that he will not again be candidate for the presidency. :,
 Opposition forces are not unitcd but there arc many points on which tho various factions agree. They all insist that full constitutional guar antees be restored, that the mili- tury establishment bo relegated to its proper function and removed from any participation In civil af' fairs, that the courts be restored to their position under the constitu- ton, and that their rulings be duly respected and executed.
 After q taste of veritable military Inv that has existed for several years, these clements seem con yincod that any broad change would be better than the present system under which Cuba is gov erned. s. l.,

Slavin presided ir probate court today at the hear. ing on the application of the Wat orbury Trust company for the re- noval of Mrs Bessie Kelley as ad- ministratrix of the estate Of her husband, the late Attorney Edward P.

 The Waterbury Trust company recently obtained a verdict of $22,. 900 against the estate. Action was started to recover on a note signed by Attorny Kelley endorsing the American Crystal company. The administrative disallowed the claim originally for $19,000 on the claim that proper notice had not been given to estate to protect It's inter. est. Judge Frank r. McEvoy heard the testimony in the claim. but disqualified himself from rendering d decision. Judge Alfred C.

Cold Snap Fails
 toBring Skating
Neither Fulton nor Hamil= ton Kinks Safe Enough

Although the weekend was con- sidered one of the coldest of the winter, the frigid blasts did not succeed in freezing the ice on the parks skating ponds to a thickness necessary to allow skating. Reports from Fulton and Hamilton parks showed this morning that the ice covering both ponds was a little more than two inches, which is just four inches less in thickness than is required by the park de- partment officials to allow skating.
 Those who enjoy the sport how ever, were out to examine other smaller ponds around this section and found in some cases, that the ice was thick enough to permit skating. Several swamps and small streams were used by the skaters yesterday.
 If the cold snap of the week end continues for a couple of more days there probably will be skating at gthe city's two parks.

OWNERSHIP OF
BROWNS EXPENSIVE
FOR PHIL BALL
Hobby Cost Him $250,OO0
in Five Years for Sec
Ond Division Club

st Louis, (UP)-Philip DeCa-
tesby Balls hobby-a major league
baseball club--has cost him more
than quarter Of a million dol
lars in five years.
Few men in America spend
$4,000 a year on one sport, and
more especially to watch the other
fellow play it. But p. Dec. Ball Is
considered q most unusual man.
More than half cventury ago,
when he first went to work in a
small plumbing shop, he found as
many excuses as possible to go to
ball games His ambition was to
become a major league player.
Though he never realized his
becoming a professional player, he
never lost his love for the game.
While he was amassing millions
as a plumbing manufacturer, his
address each afternoon after 3
o'clock was the ball park.
For q "KiKck"
He purchased the st Louis
Browns, not as an Investment, but
for the thrill of watching his own
team play. The franchise, team
and ball park, which he later
built, cost him more than a mil
lion dollars.
His ambition to see that team
win a worlds championship never
has come even close to being.
realized.
When other owners refused to
sell him players with which to
build up his club, he spent an
other million dollars to build up
his own minor league farm sys-
tenn to develop his own players.
Milwaukee in the American Asso-
citation and San Antonio in the
Texas League are Brownie
''farms".~
Probably no other club in either
league has been built SO complete
ly by one man. Where others pur-
chased major league stars, Ball
developed them. Some Of them
are scattered among other clubs
to-day, but many of them remain
with the Browns.
Virtually every player on the
Browns rosetr was either devel-
oped on one Of the minor league
farms, or obtained in trades for
men trained there. The entire in
field came up from the Texas
league farm.
Ball is not merely the man who
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-14

"pays the bills". He is the active
director of the club, and makes
all the player deales unassisted. a
few years ago he traded General
Crowder, pitcher, ana Hienie
Manush, outfielder, to Washing
ton for Goose Goslin.
Buys And Sells
Last winter he traded Goslln
back to the Senators along with
Fred Schultz and Walter Stewart,
for Carl Reynolds, Sam West ana
Lloyd Brown. This spring he sold
Brown and Rick Terrell, one OF
the best young catchers In base
ball. to the Boston Red Sox for a
sum reported to be $4,000. \.
A short, chubby man with
dropping shoulders and q snappy
pace to his gait despite his 81
years. Ball sees every home game
Of the BrBowns from his special
box. He takes the teams defeats
phiiosophically and displays as
much enthusiasm as a bleacher-
ite when the team wins.
p. Dec. BaBiI is a different type
OF baseball magnate. He does not
seem to direct his business simply
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-14

for the entertainment and amuse-
ment Of the public. The ball game
as played by his Browns Is his
greatest interest. He really feels
that his squad is out there per-
forming on the field for his own
personal recreation.
This Is best exemplified by an
incident that occurred in 1923,
when Bob Quinn was business
manager Of the club. Threatening
skies kept attendance to about
500, and when rain started fall
ing, Quinn ordered the game post
poned.
Ball appeared in Quinn's oce
q few minutes later and demand
ed to know why the game was
called off. Quinn ,started to ex-
plain that the crowd would not
pa yexpenses and that he could
make more by booking a double
header later in the season.
"Listen," Ball interrupted, I'm
paying the expenses around here.
hurried through my work to get
out here and see ball game, and
after this don't you worry about
the attendance. You play these
games II I'm the only person In
the park"
Since 1923 the Browns have
postponed very few games at
home.
