Mrs. W, J. C. Fletcher scored a double victory in the Open Hardcourt Tennis Championships at the Cercle Sportif Francais yesterday when she paired up with Mrs. Lewis Bryan and captured the Ladies Doubles title from Mrs. B. Krenov and Miss Jimmie Holwill by 9-7, 4-6, and 6-1.
The losing couple, because of having played a strenuous game against Mme. des Courtils and Mme. Morin whom the finalists beat by 6-4, 4-6, and 6-4 in one of the semi-finals shortly before the final got under way, collapsed under heavy pressure and failed to offer any resistance in the deciding set. The winners also had a semi-final match to play early in the afternoon but they did not have any trouble to win from Miss Betty Horsky and Miss Iris Mottu by 6-1 and 6-0, and had enough latent energy to post a final victory.
Mme. des Courtils and Mme. Morin defeated imis Be Cee Lo and Mrs. H Collaco in a hard tussle by a pair of 7-5 sets.
