The charge has been, made that the
Cleveland American League club
officially were unfair in their dis
tributton of tickets for the games
played In the Ohio metropolis. There
are instances of tickets having been
passed out to those connected with
other major league clubs and to inti-
mate friends OF the club officials.

formed the pasteboards were sold
out. A number OF complaints were
sent to President Ban johnson.
Regardless OF what financial,
pitching or batting records resulted
from the Cleveland Brooklyn series.
II Is almost certainty that the
weather man set new record.
Before the first and second games in
Cleveland. the weather was so warm
and dry it was NECESSARY to wet down
the dust of the basepaths. This is
considered unusual for Cleveland
during the early part OF October.

Prior to the war, officials Say, the

Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1920-10-07

A NDREW JACKSON, the inlet
L \ tWed backwoodsman treadln9 at
the heels Of John Quincy Adams, the
most cultured In all the line, presents
the sharpest contrast to be seen In
the procession Of presidents.
The first president born In log
cabin, Jackson could not claim as his
own even that lowly dwelling In the
North Carolina forest, but entered the
world homeless and fatherless. Sprung
from poor Irish immigrants, his par.
ents had been in the country only two
years when the father sank into an
unmarked grave few days before
Andrews birth, leaving his family
without roof or an acre.
No other among American leaders
received from the War Of Independence
such legacy Of bitter memories as 1t
bequeathed to Jackson. That savage
struggle between Wing and Tory
swept away his brave mother and
both Of his brothers; scattered his kin
dred and left him, OF fifteen, alone in
the world.
A ragged, rowing waif of the Revo-
luton, he grew up as wild as weed
With no hand above him, his high
spirits led him into the temptations of
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1920-10-07

his primitive world, whose social
standards were 200 years behind the
times. Drinking, and carousing, gam
bling, cock fighting and horse racing,
young Jackson never took a dare, the
rustic sport once stalking his horse and
his all on throw of the dice. A
bully among rowdies, he went his roy
steering way along road that is not
to be laid down on the map Of conduct
as course to the White House.
AS he rose from chore boy and
saddler's apprentice to be q lawyer
and a judge of the Supreme court of
Tennessee, he cast aside the dissipa-
lions of his careless youth, but he
never lost the spirit Of the clansman
or subdued his ungovernable temper.
A bare catalog of his quarrels and
fights is too long TO be given here. In
most of them he was fired with the
conviction that he was defending the
name of his wife. This had been
brought into question only by his own
characteristic lmprudence, when he
fell In love with his landlady's daugh-
ter, while she was yet married to an
other, and when he rashly wed her
without waiting to verify the mere ru-
NOR that her offended husband had
obtained a divorce In a neighbOring
state. After two years of welded life.
the too hnsty couple learned that the
wOman's first marriage had only just
been dissolved and they had to make
spectacle of themselves rs they went
through another ceremony in order to
be united In lawful bonds.
Because his own impulslve con-
duct had exposed his honest, devoted
wife TO the slanderous tongues of the
gosslps, Jackson was all the more sen
sitive to her sufferings. For sncering
at her over bar one man was stood
up at "a PAGES and shot to death by
the nvcngng husband, who kept his
pistols in perfect condition through 81
years, as Barton says, for anyone who
dared breathe her name except In
honor.
Even at the sober nge of forty-slI,
Jackson plunged into a tavern brawl
ut Nashville with Thomas H. Benton,
afterward the distinguished senator
from Missouri, and was shattered for
life by two balls and slug which
Benton's brother shot into his back.
Tint was his last personal alteration.
In few weeks he was called from his
bed of pain to take part In n public al.
tercation between the United States
and Great Britain and, with his arm
still in sling, he rose to do battle fol-
his country.
