cation. but this unique fact stands
out in connection with the jefferson
County Jail under the regime OF
Jaiier Charles c. Foster. The
many and beneficial reforms intro
duced under his management have
attracted nation wide attention to
Louisville's jail, and those reforms
have proved a boon TO the unfor-
Inmates under his care. His edu-
cational classes have progressed so
that Jailer Foster extended a chal-
lenge to the members of the OPP
timists Club this past week for an
old fashioned spelling bee contest
with his charges, the challenge
having been accepted and thou
sands are watching the outcome.
Jailer Foster is a tried and true
Democrat and if he announces for
reelection, his nomination will
bring many independent votes TO
the ticket because of his efficient
management of the Jail.

that represented the Green and

foremost in promoting this great
indoor pastime. II is doubtful If
any other floor in the city had as
many games played on it this sea-
son, as the. st. X. gym was the
scene of forty scheduled contests.
Besides these there were thirty
eight games played during the class
league season, making a total of
seventy-eight net performances
staged on this floor, without count
ing the numerous practice engage
ments. Three teams composed of
the students of st. Xavier's-the
st. Xavier's College High, the st.
Xavier's Seconds and the st.
Xayier's Midgets-were in the field.
and they did valiant work for the
glory of the Green and Gold. They
played twenty-six games on their
home floor, and in all but two of
these they took the measure OF their
opponents. making total of TWEEN
ty-four victories in twenty-six
games. To the Midgets goes the
title of undefeated midget cham
