I have same kind of problem with my original MacPlus mouse.
I tried several times cleaning the mouse, but that does not help
anything. First I believed that dirty rollers were the main reason
for jamming the ball and then that there is bad mouse cable, but
after a while I found the real reason. 
There is two little pins (or tabs) in the bottom of mouse (outside).
Or there was two little pins when my mouse was new. Nowadays there
is only the places of pins. The pins itself have gone.
(I think, they are somewhere around my table surface)
And how did I repair this problem. I simply take a little piece of 
Scotch tape and 5 pennies coin (the smallest finnish coin) and
glued it between the pin places on the bottom of the mouse. 
And my cursor was happy again...
