N YEW YORK, January big
nj Bill Tilden-professional tennis
" champion-that was the posi-
bility that faced tennis fans to-
day with the announcement Of the
--latest move in Big Bills retirement.
Tr5en, who Tuesday made known
that he had left the amateur ranks In
order to make motion pictures in which
tennis would play a big part, yesterday
announced his intention Of meeting
Karel Kozeluh, famous Czechoslovakian
professional, in a special match In
Madison Square Garden in February.
Although one match by no means
would make Tnden a champion among
the pros no matter what its outcome
might be. the fans who were Saddened
at the loss of the colorful figure of Big
Bill from the tournament courts took
hope that it might lead to a series Of
such matches throughout the country
and eventually, perhaps, to his regular
competition in the professional tourna-
ments along with Kozeluh and Vincent
Richards.
Tilden, however, was inclined to put
a damper on such hopes, saying he
would have time for only the one match
before his departure for Hollywood.
That the match is tennis natural"
few fans who have seen the two stars
in action will deny. Tilden, although
no longer in his prime as player, is
acknowledged as the "old master" of
the courts in skin and generalship,
while Kozeluh, also veteran, is able
to beat younger players regularly by the
same skill. They have practiced to-
gether several times, and an informal

last 100 yards at the second and tenth
have been the hardest pulls of all and
both will be done away with under the
new plans.
The new green at the tenth will be
built into the side of the hill some
where near the present eleventh tee,
but considerably below it, so the climb
at that hole will be done away with,
except for the first 200 yards. The
eleventh hole will remain a short hole
and xWtll be played along the side of
the NH, rather than from top to bot
tom. The twelfth hole, which Is one
of the best on the course, will remain
much the same, except for construc-
ton of new putting green. Altogeth-
ef, it Is promised that the Bannock-
burn course of 1881 will be far better
layout than that of the present day.
Do you know that Miller B. ~'cvinson,
1929 District amateur char /, and
one of the finest golfers evSr developed
around Washington, makes his own
wooden clubs? STEVENSON has In his bag
two wooden clubS-driver and braSSie-
fashioned and shafted by himself in a
little workshop he has in his home.
STEVENSON Is a stickler for the right
shape and lie Of his wooden clubs and
so several years back he began to exc
pertinent with the construction of clubs
to suit his fancy. The driver has
shaft almost as stiff as steel, with which
STEVENSON poles the ball amazing

~ ENE LARKIN looked out over
the snow-bound stretches of
~ the golf course of the Chevy
Chase Club where alternate
snow banks and brown fairways drifted
against the Wisconsin avenue horizon.
WELL" he yawned, at won't be long
now. Bob is down there, under the
palms, and I think I'll be hopping along
myself" Along came Allan Burton,
the red-headed brother of Danny Bur-
ton, the lad who used to caddy for
Harry Pitt, and who now is quite a
golfer himself.
Looks bad, doesn't it, Gene?" Bur-
ton said. eyes" Gene replied, t''you get
your things together next Sunday night
and we'll be hopping in the old chariot
Florida bound. And don't put in any
cold weather clothes either. Where we
are going there won't be any cold
weather."
So the two will head South next Mon
day in Genes little car, bound for Lake
Wales, Fla, quite distance from Miami
Beach, where Bob Barnett now has
been ensconced for nearly fortnight.
The journey of the two Chevy Chase
professionals to Florida leaves Bill
Hardy, Elwood Poore, Sandy Douglas
and Danny Burton holding the fort.
Now Danny Burton has not yet
learned the intricacies of bridge playing
and the other three are wondering what
is to become of them during those long
afternoons in January and February.
Gene has become quite an expert at
bridge, almost as good as he Is at golf,
and Douglas and Poore are not bad
players. But the great question of the
day now is: What shall we do for a
fourth?" Occasionally A. F. Bergman,
who sells golf equipment, drops In and
takes a hand, but in the main the boys
in the shop at Chevy Chase are the ones
who do the bidding, while Gene and
Bob experiment with golf shots under
the Florida palms.
Over at Bannockburn work has
stopped for the time being on the in
quiry being made as to just how the golf
course shall be brought up to top-notch
shape next year. 1t is settled, however,
according to DR.. Thomas j. w. Brown,
a member of the Investigating Commit
tee, that there will be 10 new putting
green's. that the climbs which have
bothered Bannockburn players in the
past will be eliminated and that the
course as a whole will be completely re-
furnished and brought up-to-date.
The new putting green constructed
two years ago by DR.. Brown about
two-thirds of the way up the hill at
the second hole is to be used as the
regular green and that big climb at
the tenth is to be done away with. The

call to the fur workers of New
York to march to Webster Hall, 10 E.
18th ST., where the postponed Unity
Conference" is being held tonight,
right after work. The Industrial
Union in its statement to the fur
workers exposes the new manouvers
of the company union agents to mis-
lead the workers by a fake unity Slo-
gan.
In the statement Of the Industrial
Union points out that the company
union is very resentful against being
forced to admit the furriers to the
conference because they have been
accustomed to carrying on their sec
ret deals behind closed doors. The
N.T.WI.U. also points out that in
the latest leaflet they state that the
conference was called, no to discuss
plans Of how to bring about unity
amongst the furriers, but to dictate
to the furriers that they must sub
NIT to a union" administered and
controlled by the bosses and their
agents Of the A. F. of l..
The statement further points out
that the fur cliques are opposed to
the program Of shop struggles and
unity of the workers in the shop be-
cause this program is opposed by the
bosses. the cliques promise 'democ-
racy" and unity" to the furriers CT
the brand which has existed in the
fur industry since the A. +. Of l..
began making It's program on the
workers.
The industrial Union is going to
the ccnferenc, to fight for the de-
mands of the furriers as expressed
at Cooper Union, to fight for the
unity in the shops on the basis of
struggle for better conditions and to
build unity and tie union of the
workers above the heads Of the
bureaucrats Of the A. F. L.

Of the contractors, who are in the
habit of paying the building inspec-

endanger the lives of hundreds of

building trades must organize COM

stop be put to the speed-up and that
the utmost safety precautions be used

demands that those responsible for
teh manning of these seven workers
be punished and calls on all building
trades workers to organize and strike
against unsafe conditions and speed
