Pladner, regarded in some quarters as
the uncrowned fyweigi1t champion of
the world, has turned his back on the
1i2-pounders with o defeat for his clos

Pladner, one of the hardest punchers
in French ring history, lost on a foul
in the seventh round of his 15-round
match with frankie Genaro of New
York here yesterday in what he himself
termed his final appearance as fly
weight.
The Frenchman in q previous bout
had knocked out Genaro, National Box
ing Association champion, in round:
outpointed Icy Schwartz, New York
State Boxing Commission nominee, for
the title, and stopped Johnny Hill,
European 112-pound titleholder.
Pladner was leading on points in his
return bout with Genaro when he
struck the New Yorker low twice and
was disqualified. Genaro had taken the
first round, but Pladner clearly had the
edge in all the others

tenn of handicapping, which DR..

be up to date.

has had difficulty in getting its men,
bers to turn in sufficient cards to give
an equitable basis of handicapping, but
with the present system. which has
just been installed, 1t Is hoped to keep
the handicaps of the golfers of the
The new system is the one in use by
the Chicago District Golf Association
and is almost an exact parallel If the
Calkins system. Members of Congress
sional are asked to turn in their five
best scores, from which an average will
be struck and 80 per cent of the diff
ference between the average of the
five best scores and par will be the club
handicap. When a new score lower
than the highest score is made, it will
be substituted for the highest score,
which will bring the average down.
Par is based on the distances used by
Tie obdJeS NTO1I <4SSOClAttOf,
which places holes up to ISL yards at
par 8; holes from ISL yards to $50
yards par 4, and holes over $50 yards
par S. In stroke competitions the full
handicap will be allowed, and in match
play three-fourths of the difference of
the respective handicaps VIII be
granted.
For the next two or three weeks
Congressional plans to hold 18-hole
medal play competitions to get as many
score cards returned by the members
as possible, in order to bring the handi-
caps up to date under the new system
In the latest such tourney H. j. Rich
ardson, who won the initial event, was
returned the winner again. But this
time the names of the winners were
drawn from a hat without regard to
their scores. DR.. Richardson was the
lucky individual. Other winners were,
Col. E. H. Abadie. Farnk Hoover Whit
ney Leary, Paul Sanborn, e. Ellis,
James F. Meegan, and Mark Lans-
hurgh.
The new system sets up four separate
classes of players-those with handicapS
of IL and under to form Glass A.
Handicaps of IL to II, inclusive, will go
in Glass B. and handicaps of 10 to ~,
inclusive, will go in Glass c. Those
above "a up to 80 will go into Glass D.
A. L. Houghton, professional at the

one-with Mel Shorey-the East Poto-
mac pro-and likewise he got an arts

a stable piece of change by knocking
over birdie 4 on the seventeenth hole

Reformists in Saddle.
Social reformism is now in the
saddle in Australia as in England
teself, placed in powe rby the clever
maneuvers of Australian British
capital to serve as social imperial
lists in defending capitalism against
the deep and rising struggle of the
Australian working class.
This maneuver of Australian-Brit-
ish capital turned upon the question
of arbitration. In former years,
with at least a degree of capitalist
expansion and prosperity" capital
ism established both federal and
state arbitration courts to prevent
the trade unions from taking advan-
tage of their comparatively strong
position, always whiting down their
demands and by small compromises
not only defeating breater gains,
but intoxicating a deep-seated legal
istic dependence of the unions on ar

better lawyers than leads of strug-
giles.

Oehler emphasized the progress
made by the N. T. w. U. since the
Bessemer City conference in the face
of extreme terrorism.
"Our influence and organizational
strength has grown steadily, spread
ing through five states to new mills
and additional thousands of work
ers," he said land continued.
This conference must lay the basis
for a general struggle for our econ
omic demands. At the same time, we
must fight with all our strength
against the bosses fascist gangs,
demanding they be disarmed. Our
task is to broaden the base of the
fight for the eight-hor day, for a
minimum wage of $40, abolition OF

Gilbert Tetherow called for more
active participation of the youth in
the work of organizing for the strug-

the workers.
"The future belongs to US" he
said. 1T is for us to lead in the or

Tetherow said that the youth, like
other rank and file workers, have
no voice in determining policies OF
the United Textile Workers, which
are dictated from the top by reac-

"The N.T.W. is rank and file
