SCHOOL BOYS BET
 ON LONDON RACES

LONDON, July 24.-GBy Associated Press.)--All over England tonight stern fathers were calling their lit tie sons into the sitting room and asking them if they ever bet on the horses. The idea that son may. be more interested in his "bookie' 6an in his books popped into papa's head as sCon as he read the evening news paper.
 Under exciting headlines he read the testimony given by woman school teacher at the governments inquiry into betting. This teacher, whose school is in poor district, testified that out of class of 42 boys averaging II years old, 19 ad- mitted they backed horses She also suspected that others were afraid to admit putting their pennies tn the ponies.
 Some boys were daily betters, she said, buying a three-penny tip and retailing it's suggestions at half penny each. She remarked that the boys were so interested in betting that they had even offered to put up 2 little money for her. Colleagues had informed her that conditions were similar in other schools.
 Asked whether the youngsters un- derstCod the intricacies of betting, such as the starting prices, she re- piled: "Oh, dear, yes They talk about form, the size of the horses and the ability of the jockeys. l have been astonished at their knowl- edge"
 Through various sources here, all sorts of betting tips, race news and paddock gossip are readily available to all who read, and yet much sur prise was voiced among the common tatLrs today over the fact that youth has hardly got off the rocking horse before beginning to back the real thing.

Fight Inspector Has Changed Mind; Smith
 VIII Box Luis Firpo

OMAHA. Neb.. July 25.-A 10-round fight to a decision between Luis An- gel Firpo. Argentine fighter, and Homer Smith, Kalamazoo, Mich. heavyweight, here on August 3, will be permitted according to an an- nouncement from State Boxing. h. spector George Roster at Lincoln. Arrangements for the bout were con- cluded today it was announced by Francis CPaD Boyle, Omaha pro- mOter.
 Boyle's announcement, made early this morning, was follo,-ed by a statement by William Kavan, boxing inspector for Douglas county COma- ha) that the Firpo Smith bout would not be permitted on the ground that Smith was not a capable opponent for the South American Conqueror of Jess Willard. Later, however. after kavan got into touch with Boyle, he announced that he had the wrong smith" in mind. A telephone conver- sation between Kavan and Inspector Roster followed and resulted in Kos ter's statement that the fight would be allowed.
 Boyle was instructed to resubmit his preliminary card and it was said the inspector would insist that the prelimnaries be good enough to in sure that fight fans would get their -orth."
