NEW YORK. Sept. 4—(AP)— There was a spot of spectacular tennis in the Forest Hills Stadium today as Ted Schroeder, Jr., turned back a. spirited bid bv Alejo Russell of the Argentine and the United States championships rolled into the send-final round.

Schroeder. top-seeded of the do- mestic stars, had to lay some of the best tennis of his ife before he finally convinced Russell by scores 0f 3. 6-8, 6-3, 7-5. The battle be- tween these two aggressive scrappers made every match that pre- ceded it in the past week seem dull by comparison.

the other men's quarter-final, Lleut. Gardnar Mulloy of Jackson- ville eliminated George Richards, a. ygiuthful southépaw from Monte- llo, CaliL, 6- , 8-6, 7-5. Richards made it close in the second and. third sets. but was forced to bow to Mulloy's steadier ground strokes. Mulloy and Schroeder will clash in one semi-final tomorrow, while Frankie Parker and Pancho Segura fight it out in the opposite bracket.
