Chicago, January ls.-One of the points of organized baseball defense against the antitrust suits brought by the Federal league, to be heard tomorrow, will be based on section of the Clayton act, recently passed by Congress, according to report current here tonight The sec tion reads:
 'The labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of commerce"
 The Federal leagues complaint asks that the organized baseball be declared a comb:antion in restraint of trade and commerce." It was said tonight the de- fendants would contend that organized baseball deals in labor and. therefore, cannot be held to be a trust
 Tt was said tonight no more affidavits would be filed before the opening of the case and that the testimony to be pre- sented probably will be verbal. Presi- dent Tener of the National league is among those likely to testify.

LONG THREATENED AERIAL ATTACK ON ENGLISH COAST IS
 MADE BY GERMANS
tcontinued from Page One,

plain near St. Peters church, which dam aged whole row of houses, breaking all the windows and littering the streets with slate from roofs and brick.
 The towns of Yarmouth. Sandringham. Kings Lynn and Cromer are in the prov nce of Norfolk, which abuts the North sea about 15o, miles northeast of Lon don.
 Yarmouth, known as Great Yarmouth, and Cromer are favorite water resorts, while Sandringham contains the country palace of the late King Edward. Kings Lynn is seaport and market town. II contains shipbuilding yards, iron foun- dries, machine shops and other indus tries.
 If the aircraft which made the attack were the ones which passed over tn, Island of Ameland they probably start ed from the vicinity of Cuxhaven. IT this case they would have had to fly about 15O miles across the North sea t reach England.

BURGLARS IN HIGH WIRE ACT
Go Hand-O -Over-Hand Sixty Feet to Crack Safe

Robbers working in Minneapolis ear
 ly today performed feats that outriyal-
 led anything by the motion picture ac-
 tors posing for the most perilous perils
 says Minneapolis special to the New
 York Sun.
 The safe crackers made their first
 attack at the Minneapolis branch of thu Sch1itz Brewing company. A string of
 box cars on a railroad spur running alongside the building gave them theil chance Sealing the ladders on the cars the robbers climbed from the car tops to the rof of one-story annex. From this roof they pried open a second story window in the main building and en- tered the offices of the brewing com pany. They knocked the combination off the safe but failed to throw back the bolt and gave the job up.
 Leaving the brewery office the cracksmen climbed back out the window l to the annex roof. Nearly 60 feet to tho north was the feed store of Johnson & Olson. In the store roof was a sky l light. Electric light wires passed from the roof of the brewery annex to the | feed store. They seemed to offer the only available route to the skylight | The robbers took the chance. Tracks on the annex roof indicated | that there were two of the cracksmen. l The sagging and twisted wires today tOlu tHe StoiJ ol tHo tSuiouS diiu riSh| journey through the air from one root to the other. The two men had appar- l ently travelled hand over hand along | the wires for the entire distance.
 Once they had gained the roof of the store 1t was an easy matter to enter
 the place through the skylight. There they were more successful than on their first visit. They knocked the combina- ! tion off the safe and then pried open l the cash box. In the box they found S2i in good cash and three counterfeit dol lars that had been taken in by mistake The robbers counted over the money threw out the counterfeit dollars and 1 left them on the counter. Then they Jeff | the building by opening a street door
