The public concentrated on the women's event in the American Doubles Championships here to-day. Teams of four nationalities reached the semi-finals. A high wind was inimical to scientific play and seeded pairs were in jeopardy.

Mrs. Andrus served double fault under excitement and ultimately the holders forced the lead in the 21st game and then won Mme. Henrolin's service to love for the match.

It was the French player's only bad game and if her American part- ner had returned services more con- aistently Miss Marble and Mrs. Fabyan must have gone down.
