L. Coulcher, Miss Holwill Now in Semi. als Staging a timely rally in the third set, Leo Coulcher and Miss M. S. Holwill overcome J. G. Forbes and Mrs. J. N. Lewis Bryan by 4-6, 6-4 and 6-4 in the second round of the Shanghai Mixed Doubles Championship on the Country Club court yesterday afternoon. The winning couples will probably meet Lewis D. Carson and Mrs, M. Reader Harris in the semi-finals.
Forbes and Mrs. Bryan succeeded in winning the opening set when their opponents played an attacking game erratically.
The second set saw the ultimate winners in better form. The score rose evenly. Coulcher was good at the net while Miss Holwill drove well from the baseline.
In the third and deciding set Forbes and Mrs. Bryan again took the lead, winning the first three games and looking as if they were going to walk away with the match, Coulcher and Miss Holwill, pulled themselves together and played almost unmistakably. After an extremely hard fight, the lead was gradually cut down until the score was tied at 4-all. Then, with a final spurt, Coulcher and Miss Holwill bagged the next two games to win the set and the match.
