The cotton market opened steady
unchanged to an advance of four
points and sold about six to ten
points net higher in early trading
on covering and trade or commits
sion house buying.
The advance was accompanied by
reports of a steady spot situation
with somewhat improved demand in
the South. The bulge met realizing
and the market was comparatively
quiet, but steady, { the end of the
first hour, prices showing reactions
of five or six points from the best.
The market remained quiet later
in the morning, but held generally
steady on further covering and
some trade buying. Reports of a
better demand for spot cotton from
Liverpool probably contributed to
the advance, but offerings were
light. Prices rose to 1850 for May,
within a point or two Of the best

Chapman and Zuchetti Picked
 as Winners Thursday

Hartford, June :7-George Chap man. six-time motor-paced cham- pion. and Francesca Zuchetti. the great Italian rider, are the favor- ties to win in the motor. paced spe- cial race which will be the feature of the bike race meeting at the Hartford Velodrome Thursday night.
 Chapman is the outstanding fa- vorite because Of his preeminencc in the game and because of the fact that he is now in the best physical condition of three seasons, George having spent the winter months down in Florida where he rounded into the pink of condition.
 Zuchetti is accorded an excellent chance to win because he is riding at great clip this season, having only last Sunday at New York de- feated a brilliant field, including Chapman.
 Either of the other two entrants may win, these motor paced races furnishing many upsets; the other two entrans are Larry Ganfney of Brooklyn and Dan Pischione of Italy. Pischionc took Frank Keenan of Revere into camp at the race meeting at the velodrome>last week beating keenan in two straight heats.
 There will be several other pro- fessional and amateur events on the program. bringing g record field into competition. The first race will start at S:l5. Tasillo's band will give concert before the races and will play the riders down the home stretch in the various events.

kAPLAN ID MEET QU|NTERO MONDAY
Meriden Battler Anxious to Even
 Things With Spaniard

New Haye4 June e7 With sudden display of energy and ambi- tion Matchmaker Paolillo, working jointly for the Arena and Elm City light clubs, finished up the business for the all star card which will be presented at the White City stadium on Monday night, July ?, with Kid Kaplan and Manuel Quintero as the headlinrrs.
 Yesterday saw the names of Georgie Day, New Haven tornado, and Irish Jimmy Kelley, New York National Guard champion affixed to contracts which bind them for tbe eight round semi final and then in quick succession two more 'elShts' and a six were arranged for com- plction of the bill.
 In the top preliminary Paolllo has succeeded in securing d bout long looked for in New Haven, q re- match of Al Tripoli of 1onkers, and Steve smith, of Bridgeport.
 About a year ago the two fought as semi-linalists to Kid kaplan and Tony Naccarelli and the setto was unanimously voted the best on the program. I'ripoli, one of the best amateur boys to enter ring in the Metropolitan district, proved every bit as good when he stepped out as q professional and against the rug ged smith he gave a masterful eA- hibition. He is not as strong as the Bridgeporter-they don't come that way very often-but his boxing abll- ity was something 10 marvel at and he installed himself as q big favor ite with state boxing fans with single bout.
 The New Haven matchmaker and several others around the state es- sayed to get the two in return gc immediately after the sensauonal appearance in New Haven. but it vas impossible to get them to sign contracts paollllo kept right after the bout however, and finally after a year was successful.
 A new rough and-roady borlng-in style of fighter will be introduced to the fans in the second bout on the card, also an ight-rounder, when Tony Leto. of Tampa, Florida, steps out against Johnny Scaizi, of Bridge port.
 Leto, a stahlenti,s of> Quintero, made his eastern debut at Madison Square Garden on the same card with Kaplun and Quintero in thelr first bout recently and he created sensation by scoring knockout 1n the second round.
 Tony, before travelling north. met up with the leading featherwelshts in the south and disposed of them all. Unlike Quintero, he has llllnd to stay here in the east. lighting as much as he can in New York, but he has threatened 10 go home if dc- feat comes his way.
 It remains to be seen whether that threat will be turned into promise by Jolnny Scalzi for the Bridge porter is not one to be easily con- uuercd and Leto will find i'll nm rought and willing customer Scalzl has yet to back away from anyone, but on the other hand he has forced plenty of them to start the reverse pedal. The two should produce eight rounds of sure fire flShilnG- unless d kayo puts an end to the festivities.
 The card will be opened with the ever pleasing Baby Doll of Water bury, in d six round joust with Al Irving, of New York. Irving IS au' aruory tighter--not much on box ing but a fist singer who is nov ing forward all the time.
