We study the production of hadrons by a polarized photon beam on a longitudinally polarized proton target, including the contributions due to the structure of the photon. / We predict cross sections sizeable enough for good tests and show that, in certain kinematic domains, single hadron production is a good probe of the size of the polarized gluon distribution $ Delta$g. / We find that a special combination of cross sections for production of two large $p sb{T}$ hadrons provides a particularly clean probe of the size of $ Delta$g.
