END OF BALL
 TRAIL SEEN
 FOR BARROW
MatPhai| Moves Veteran Out of Yankees Did-
 mond Picture

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-It looks like the end of the baseball trail for 76-year-old Ed Barrow who, with 82-year-old Connie Mack and 77-year- Connie Griffith, has directed the destinies of the American League over the past AZ years.
 Indications are that the ex- President of the New York Yankees, whose identity with the game dates back to 1894, will not be with the club when the season opens. Although named as chair man of the board of directors, the beetle -browed veteran probably will retire soon.
 All business negotiations concern ing the transfer of ownership of the club have been completed and Larry MacPhail has been able to take over full control, after taking over the presidency and general managership last Friday.

 Twenty skiers, m ly juniors, made their way to the Upper Ski Bowl over a trail slippery in spots due to ice but mainly firm and in good hiking condition.

 Elttieton Mass. Oct. e.-You can own and operate your private plane on O salary of $50 b week-and buy shoes for the children, tool
 That's the assertion of Q ebO-a- week factory worker who does it,
 Samuel Desilvio of Llttletou, who has a wife and two children, haS not only owned Q plane for eight years, but has hls own hangar and runway, too. The hangar and run- way, on Q two-and-a-halfacre strip of land behind his cottage home,' make the DeSilvio back yard 0 con- venient takeoH point for the fan1- ily's jaunts to cities and places of nterest throughout New England.
 A machine operator by trade and
 il amateur mechanic only by iIl-
 linatlon, DeSllvlo says that far
 som being Q rich mans toy"
 sht plane costs no more to own
 nd operate than the family car.
 Sometimes he puts dollars yorth of gas in his 40-horsepower
 lane and takes the family on
 unday cruise about the country

 Desilvlo paid eeBO for his plane, secondhand, back in 1887. He couldn't afford hangar charges 50 ne built his own hangar-and air- strip, too.
 He made the hangar from trees ,he cut down in his back field while he was clearing space for his home- made runway, He spent $i4 ct a lo- cal sawmill to have the pine trees cut up into board. This, plus the cost of nails and tarpaper, repre- sents total expenditures for the small T-shaped hangar.
