SPORT CARNIVAL
AT The HUB

Boston, Dec. 24.-Calling it too
close to give odds either way on the
elimination wrestling bout between
George Hackenschmidt. the Russian
lion, and DR.. Ben Roller of Sea tile:
over Henri ST. Yves, the French
marathoner, followers of indoor
sports showed today a feverish inter-
est in Monday nights sport carnival.
The Russian and Roller meet in what
was declared would eliminate one
from the possibility of a match with
Frank Gotch. Roller has secured
one decision over Hackenschmidt and
the Russian is determined to have
revenge. Both will be in the best
condition possible.
From records Svanberg is the
choice of fans in the 10 mile run
with st. Yves, though odds We're very
small.
