 IN JERSEY TENNIS
Mrs. Green and Mrs. Morris Win With Unlocked For Ease
 in Doubles.

The semi-finals of the New Jersey championship doubles. played yester- day on the courts of the Orange Field club at Mountain Station. N.. J., de- veloped two walkovers. Miss Molla Bjurstedt and Mrs. Spencer F. Weaver romped away from Mrs. R. D. Nichols and Mrs. Douglas Fonda, at 60, 6-1. Mrs. H. Stuart Green and Mrs. L. G. Morris won with equal ease from Mrs lIDavid c. Mills and Miss Edith Handy, at 6-1, 60.
 l After defeating the national cham pions, Miss Marion zinderstein and Miss Eleanor Goss, the preceding day | it was anticipated that Miss Blur stedt and Mrs. Weaver would win easily. But Mrs. Mills and Miss Han 1 dy were expected to let Mrs. Green and Mrs. Morris know they were in a match.
 Mrs. Green played her usually strong game in the backcourt, and re- turned the ball to her opponents until such times as they sent it into the net or into the alleys. Mrs. Morris did splendid work at the net
 Miss Bjurstedt and Mrs. Weaver toyed with Mrs. Nichols and Mrs. Fonda and sent the ball wherever they pleased. The knowledge that they were playing against such dis t1nguished opponents did not help the confidence of the losing players, both of whom made mistakes which they would not have made against players of their own ca1tbre.
 The mixed doubles were started and all matches but one were carried out to the semi-final round. The surprise of the mixed doubles was the appear ance of Julian s. Myrick, vice presi- dent of the United States National Lawn Tennis association, as the part ner of Miss Biurstedt. In their first match Miss Bturstedt and Mir. Myrick disposed of Miss Marion Zinderstein and J. s. OBoyle at 6-S, 62.
 Miss zinderstein. national doubles champion. has not fared well in the doubles. Neither she nor O'Royle could cope with Miss Bturstedt.
 In their second round match Mis- Bjurstedt and Myrick lost the frs set to Miss Cassell , and Duke
 Thomas. at 6-S. after some exciting play. The match wills be completed tomorrow.
