In doubles the Ramberg-Östberg pair fell victim to Englishmen Charles Kingsley and John Olliff. In March he clinched the Stockholm doubles Championship with Östberg and also took the mixed doubles. In June he reached the quarterfinals of the Dutch Championships and eventually lost to Hendrik Timmer. He reached the doubles semifinal there after eliminating the Hungarian team of Kálmán Kirchmäyer and Béla Halter. In August in the Saltsjöbaden tournament he captured the doubles title with Östberg but had to withdraw from the mixed doubles final giving his opponents a walkover.
