 'An atoll is a coral reef sur rounding a salt lagoon, or lake, or, rather, it is \ two reefs, for there Is first opposed to the sea a barrier reef, inside which there is, often, very deep water, and then the beach or border inclosing the lagoon The most significant diversity in atolls IS not their size, but whether there IS or is not an opening from the ocean to the interior lagoon, permitting vessels to enter or leave. The lagoons are, usually, safe and unhurried though sometimes married terribly by cyclones

BEACON LIGHTS
 FOR VESSELSOF
 PANAMA ROUTE

New York, June 26-(Specia1 Cor respon dence)- to the recov- cry of trade throughout the world, France, owner of Tahiti, the Paumotu atolls and the Marquesas, is reviving her pre-war project of erecting light houses on these far-off reefs and isl- ands.
 Before the storm of war laid all plans low, France realized that these possessions of hers are directly in the line of steamship travel from the Panama Canal to Sydney, and that if they may hope to profit from the traffic they must make such voyages devoid of extraordinary hazard. At present, the only light which the in- frequent sea visitor expects to find is some lantern hung out by chief or trader. Asfhe ato1l islands are ex- traordinarily low, such a light has even less value as a beacon than if hung upon a coast of normal height above sea-1eve1.
 Some little known facts and ex- traordinarily vivid description of these islands which may soon acquir~ a new importance are accessible - the July Century Magazine in ar ticle by Frederick O'Brien, author of ! White Shadows in the South Seas" We quote a few paragraphs about the atolls, where pearl fishers live. +They lie so low, these strange, mysterious ato1ls, that from the deck l of our schooner they cannot be seen even on the clearest days. at any l great distance. One often hears the surf before the island appears. They i are only a few feet above the plane i of the sea flat, with no hill or emil l hence upon them, like lilies upor I the surface of pond. They are the fairy islands of our youth, the lotu: l lands of posey, the most beautiful i fascinating, inconceivable sight 1 upon the ocean,"
 Their most characteristic quality | and the most striking distinction the.
 have, is that they are ato1ls, and al
 atoll is to an island as a comet is t
 star; they are freaks or sports il the garden of the sea gods. It like nothing we in Europe or Ameri

Hagen and Barnes to
Play Vardon and Ray

Walter Hagen, who went abroad
with Jim Barnes and delayed his re-
turn in order to play ut Versailles in
the French open golf tournament,
which he won, will arrive late this
week on the Aquitania. This should
give him ample opportunity for
reaching New London, Conn, on
Monday in time to appear in his
scheduled match against Vardon and
Ray.
Hagen will be paired with Jim
Barnes for the first time against the
Britishers at New London and the
same four will play August l at
Hollywood, in Deal, N. J. 1t devel-
ops from word brought over by
Barnes that Hagen's victory in the
French open was no walkaway. AL
though cable dispatches merely in
dicated that he was the winner, 1t
appears that his opposition included
George Duncan, newly crowned
British open champion, and Abe
Mitchell.

Barney sohaefers Club Takes This
Action Owlnu to Loss Of plavere

At meeting Of the officials Of the
Girard Field Club last evening it was
decided to disband for the balance of the
season owing to the loss of the majority
of their players! Rather than place an
inferior team on the field and ruin the
reputation attained in the past, it was
deemed advisable. after careful con-
sideration, to disband and cancel the
remaining games which the team had
scheduled, which were with the follow
ing teams: Marshall r. Smith, Stctson
A. A., Disston A. A., Fleishcr A. A.,
Chester Stars and Buist Park. Girard
was going along splendidly up until a
few weeks ago when Wildwood opened
their season and signed UP Iibell, cap
tain and first baseman: Marks. third
baseman and Smith. catcher. Edwards,
who replaced Smith behind the bat,
signed up with Johnny Castles Wilson,
n. G. club and Wilbur Schmidt, pitcher,
last week accepted an offer from the
Strawbridge & Clothier team. Man
ayers Of the above teams kindly book
other teams on dates where Girard was
scheduled to appear.

REASONS FOR DEFEAT
OF w. HAGEN ABROAD
p,rse of s25OOOO Proved Hazard" as Did Mental
Part of Play-Failed to Sho,o Necessary
Shot, Say Vardon and Ray
By SANDY McNIBLICK

Barnes said the treatment they re-
ceived abroad was wonderful, like a
kind of triumphal march.
1.-THE last round il seemed to me\that
everybody was following me. j had a
good chance, but it's all over now. Bet
ter luck next time, maybe"
Ray, they say, seldom practices shots
before tourney. He Is a glutton for
walking and likes a nice long promenade
before his turn. just enough to loosen up
his muscles. tune down his nervous
system, and make him keen for the
fray.
Yesterday, when IL came his turn. the
ex British champion was discovered,
with the aid of field glasses, wandering
aimlessly around the neighborhood Of
the girls dormitory. When they hailed
him. the biz Briton strolled non
chalantly back where hundreds were
packed in to see the start, teed up his
ball and hit It right back. only to the
right to where he had been. He carved
out the first few holes about as neatly
in par as could be desired, a drive,
mashie. two puts.
Ray Is considered one Of the longest
drivers abroad, though they pick on MS
form. His wooden clubs are awe
inspiring weapons. He has three. The
nearest approach to brassie has a
triangular effect brass plate which only
covers about half the sole.
One side of the plate Is along the race
All three wooden club heads are enor-
nous. nearly the size of mans hanu.
Peculiarly enough, he uses shorter
shaft than in Louis Tellier's wood.
Ray and His Pipe
Ray never removes his pipe from his
mouth, except to reload it--sort OF
twenty four hour smoke these days.
The old boiler is kept going like a steam
engine, too, clouds of smoke issuing
therefrom. Just as Ray goes to hit q
ball. you'll always see him omit pun
Of smoke.
He has a slow back. but comes into
the ball with tremendous force, ms
sturdy feet remaining fairly fast. lie
only has cleats on the toes Of his shoes:
He chalks the slightly bulging case OF
his wooden clubs. as a billiardist chalks
cue. That's getting the old drive
down pretty fine.
Ray hits his drive so briskly that he
invariably unbalances himself in for 4.
ward direction. Every bit Of his 200
pounds in is in the shot. His mashie
shot is very quick back swing. more
like hasty chop at tirht sight. till you
see them drop inside the other ball usu
ally. His putting does not appear to
be any studied stance, except tipping
the last one in, where he straddles the
cup in wide stance. But his putting
is exceedingly deadly.
Ray played in Jersey coat all day
despite the heat rays which shimmered
! all around.
