THE OMAHA 13AldY"BEE , W & . ) # § ! 3 DAY , APRIL 14. 1835. DID flE BETRAY HIS TRUST , Serious Charges Against the President of Lincoln's Law and Order League. HIS REPUTATION AT STAKE. Both nn n Kcformcr anil an n All the News of the Day nt the Stnto Capital. far. TIEB'S M scout ncnr.Atil. President Sawyer , of the LAW and Order League , has been iniulo dufemlnnt In n litigation which , if the allegations of Ilio plaintiffs arc true , will destroy his Usefulness as n reformer and seriously Impair his standing and reputation as n lawyer. Tiio title of the action is "Albert 'G. ' E. Holmes and Huby L. IIolme < by Leoniilas K. Holmes , their guardian , vs F. A. W. Shimcr , Oco. II. Walker , An- ilrow S. Sawyer and Winoiia Sawyer. " 1'ho original defendants when the suit \vas commenced last winter , were Shinier and Walker only , butyesterday Ilio plain- tin's Hied an amended petition making the Sawyers the real defendants , and ex pressly stipulating that they have no cause of action against Walker directly. The facts sot lorth in the petition arc that in August , 1877 , George II. Walker , of Harlan , Iowa , was the owner of lot 4 , block 89 , In the city of Lincoln , which was leased for a term of years by Anna J. Holmes , mother of the minor plalntili's. It was agreed In the lease that Mrs. Holmes should pay a certain rental , and erect buildings on the land , and that when the lease expired the improvements should bo appraised , and an opportunity given Walker to ' purchase the prop erty. If he refused to take it at the prlco then Mrs. Holmes was to , have the privilege of buying it at the * prleti named. Mrs. Holmes creeled a line two-story brick dwelling , and since her death a similar house has been put up by the heirs. In 187U , thinking it would be safer to hare the title in her own hands , the plaintifis engaged Saw yer as their attorney to buy the realty Irom Walker , and instructed him to pay as high as $ l-10l ) if necessary. After a long delay Sawyer informed them that AValkor would not sell , and Holmes sug gested that ho had bolter go over to Iowa and sue him. Sawyer said it would bo no use to do so , as Walker , if inclined to sell nt all , would make the deal through him. Some months after this Sawyer reported that Walker had sold and deeded the laud to one F. A. W. Shinier , who was tlion in Florida. Hero the matter rested until about the middle of February last , when Holmes applied direct to Walker for information about the sale , and was told that Sawyer had conducted the negotiations in the name of thu plaintiffs , and that Walker supposed the sale was made to them , as ho did not know of any party named Shinier in the transaction. Mr. Walker further said that Saw yer told him the Holmes would not pay over ? GOO for the land , and that he had duelled it to them at that figure. in April , 1883. the deed being delivered to Sawyer. The plaintiffs then tendered Sawyer the money ho had paid Walker and demanded that the property bo transferred to them. This Sawyer re fused , on the ground that the sale was made to Shinier , and the Holmes had no claim or interest. The plaintiffs' attorneys , Messrs. J. R. Webster and Hillingsly & Woodward , assort that if a deed to Shimcr is in ex istence it is a forgery or an alteration from the deed originally made to Holmes by Walker , or was obtained in blank by false pretenses from Walker and Shimcrs1 name inserted in lieu of Holmes' . As the matter standsSaw.ver , is not only accused of unprofessional con duct in boating his own clients , but is charged with having got the land . 'rom Walker for $000 less than it was really worth , and than his clients wore willing to pay. BRIEF MENTION.

APPROACH OFTHE SEASON OF'OO Great Hall Teams or thu National League Cracks or the llnclng Season Single Scull Cham pions Knights or the Gloves. CHICAOO , April 11 , 1880. [ Special Cor respondence of the BEE. ] Rarely , if over before , has the great doaiain of Ameri can sporta presented a brighter outlook than it docs at the present time ; and be fore another thirty daysshall have passed , many of the greatest athletic and sport ing organizations of the country will have taken the field , and the track for another season of outdoor sports. The llrst of these will bo the crack base ball teams of the country , and it is safe to say there is not ono lad in ono hundred , in cither country or city , whoso heart docs not pulsate a tritle more rapidly , and whoso eye does not glisten with expectant pleasure at the crack of the bat and ball , and the accompanying cry of the um pire. The great games of last year be tween the Now York and Chicago teams raised a degree of enthusiasm over the national gave never before known ; mid the sight of 20,000 people in attendance at thu games between Ihcsu two crack clubs in the Chicago grounds last Fouclli of July was unprecedented in the history of base ball. With each year , slnco the formation of the National League in 1870 , the game of base ball has steadily grown in pu'-ity of character , in popular favor , in point of creditable management , and uspcctnblo patronage , until to-day it is ermcd the National Game of America , ivilh every claim to the titlo. What last year gave us in brilliant play- ng , closely contested games and rcmariC- ) le victories , this present year promises 10 duplicate , if , indeed , it does not excel. The two great loams of last season Chi- ago and New York are much the same 11 their personnel this year. Chicago ivill possess fourteen players , viz : McCormick - mick , Clarkson. and Flynn. pitchers ; Moolic and Flint , catchers ; Anson , first jasu ; Pfoflfcr , second base ; Williamson , .bird base ; Ryan or Burns short ; Sunday or Kelley , right lield ; Gore , center Hold ; and Dalrymplc. loft Hold. Thus it will bo seen that all of the old players have been retained , three now ones added , namely : Flynn , Mcolic , and Rj-an. The Irst two named , last year formed the jraok ballory of the New England League , and came highly recommended by Burns , Clarkson , and Williamson , iviio had scon thorn play. Flynn is a Hi de fellow , slight of build , and not much bigger in staluto than Larry Corcoran , our old-time pitcher , now with the Now Yorks , but ids muscles are as linn as tempered rubber , and ho is as quick as a ; at upon the Held , besides having a cool .lead , and an accurate delivery. George Moolie , who will hold down Flynn's delivery , is a short built , muscu lar follow of 2:5 : , with a hand and tin arm capable , so far as apperanccs go , of slopping any ball that every Ictt a litchcr's hands or tipped a bat. He is thoroughly acquainted with Flynn's style , and the two are said lo work together with the accuracy of a machine. Ryan displayed his ability _ as a ball player in our closing games with Phila delphia last year. Was at that time stamped by Alison as "a good one. " All these are looked upon as valuable acquisitions to the club , and but little doubt is expressed but they will prove themselves such , before the season lias far advanced. Mr. A. G. Spaulding , president of the club , sent the entire loam lo Hot Spring , Ark. ; March 18. for a preliminary season ot exorcise and systematic treatment in the baths , and they are now playing ex hibition games with the Southern league teams of Memphis , Nashville. Savannah , Atlanta and Macon , in order to put themselves in thorough shape for the championship games , the first of which they will play in Kansas City , April 29. All arc confluent that the pennant will como to Chicaco again this year. Now York will also enter the lield with its old team , via : Welch , Keofp , Deal- soy and Ewing as the batteries , big Roger Connor at first base , Joe Gcrhardt at second.Johnny Ward at short , Rich ardson or Estorbrook at third , Dorgan at right , O'Rourkc at center and Gillespio at left. Thus the great batting strength and admirable fielding qualities of the team will bo preserved with the proba bility that with the advantage of ono sea son's practice , they will play bettor ball this season than ever before. Probably no team in the league has been strengthened and improved to a greater extent than has that of Detroit , Its absorption of the Indianapolis club ; its acquisition of Baldwin , now looked upon as one of the likeliest young pitch ers of the country , and its scoop of the "big four" from the Buffalo team , to say nothing of the half dozen promising young players it has signed on trial , places it high in the ranks in almost every point of playing. The team as now stoned consists of Manning , Brouth- ors , \V hito , Richardson and Rowe ( the big four ) , Crane , Lawrence , Twicholl , Baldwin , Hall and Fitzsinimons ( a now battery ) , Getzoin , Thompson and Ben nett. It is generally conceded that if past records are to show for anything , Detroit should have the heaviest batting team in the country. They are now playing exhibition games in the south. Philadelphia will prove n popular and attraclivo loam this year , for its players arc all young , good-looking athletes , ca pable of milking vo'-y interosling any frame into which they may participate , The team now consists of Fogarty , An drews , Mulvey , Ganzol , Sotelo , Bignall , Titcomb , Guehror , Arthur Irwin , Cloii- onts , Casey , Farrell , Ferguson anil Me- Guiro. The veteran Harry Wright will manage the team. St. Louis is another team which is showing up particularly strong , and the internal bickerings and unpleasant fool' ings which did so much to injure it las ) year soum to _ have been lorover dispelled uiulor the vigorous management of tin manager. Mr. Sohmulz , formerly of the Atlantic team , Capl. Dunlnp will again handle the team upon the diamond anil will play his old position at second base , wilh Denny , Glasscock and McKinnon tc make up what is looked upon as tlu crack in-field of the Icaguo. In additioi the club will play Cabin , Qiiinn , Saner Scery , Dohui. Healj\ Howard , Boyle am Kirby. Much moro is anticipated of this team than they did last. The old Bostons will show up will much the same team they played las year , and with Nash , Poorman , Johnsloi and Stommoycr as the young blood o the team promise to hold their own ovei agajnst thu crack teams , they are to g < against. The now teams , Kansas City and Washington , nro made up largely of oh League players who have been releasei from the old League teams to make ii ] the new clubs , and judging from the pros out outlook , they will eaon show up wit ! very credilablo aggregation. Washington will have Barr ami Hine and Shaw and Gilligan as batteries. Tli iine work of the last named pair will Providence last year will bo remembered Baker , Knowlus and Gludman , of the oh Nationals , will play in the now team and Paul Ilinos , of the old Bostons , Dav Force , Jutu of Butl'alo , Carroll , of tn Prorldencc and Eif L'ranc will form the backbone of the nine. Kansas City Is boiling over with flathuMnsut over her Lengtio tcttm , wbiclv under the manage- tncnt of Uavo Hojv.e.Js blossoming finely. They will have yhino.v { and Hackctt , Iho old Boston Hattory/NVeldnian , of the Do- trolls , and Hrimiy , fat St. Louis , as their remaining battery ? Comvav , of the old Hullaloes , Al. Myros.-of the Phillies , Don- nellv and McQuorry , of the Dctroits , Lillle. of the HulJ'alocs , with Uavo Rowe , of last year's' ' Maroons as captain and short-stop. It Ii scarcely expected In view of the energy and enthusiasm which the now cities have' entered the League circuit , that cither. Providence of IhilTalo will bo missed during the coming season In addition to the teams of the jJational League , which Is the parent orcanlzation of its kiml in the country , Ihoro arc those of the American Association , at Hrook- lyn , Stiten : Island , Haltimorc , Philadel phia , I'iitsburfT , Cincinnati , Louisville , and St. Louts , and those of IhoVestcrn , s'ortliwcstprti , Eastern , Southern , Now 2nehinil , and the various state Leagues , mbracing nhno.'t every state in the Union. Verily , the game of base ball Is ighlfully termed the .National game. The American Association will bo the Irst of the two principal organizations 0 open the championship season this ear , the inaugural games being played \pril 17 as follows : Louisville at Cin- innatl : Pittsbnnr alSt. Louis ; Motropoli- tins at Philadelphia ; Brooklyn at Haiti- noro. . .oagiio season closes Oct. ! ) ! ) ; that of the \morican Association Ocl. 11 , the former lubs playing sixty-three games at homo .nil llip same number abroad , or ISO lames in all for each club , and Iho latter ilayinp seventy games at homo and sev- nly abroad , or 1-10 games in all for each ilub. TIIK Turn * . Second only lo baseball in American ports is horse racing , and of this thu great racing organizations and stale fair .ssocinlions will give us our full share luring the comiiiirsoasou. Couimnncing vith the 28th of this mouth at Nashville ho spring season will commence in jarnest. Tito eircttit really begins at Mobile , Ala. , April II ) , and goes from hero lo Now Orleans April ! i4 , but it islet lot until thu boll taps tit Nashville and Memphis that the great cracks of the vest will score for a start. At Memphis U the present lime Ilio great stables of Jorrigan , Green B. Morris. Gray & Co. , mil others are training lor the coming events. Last year's favorites upon the mining track will , with a few exccp- ions , appear again Ihis year as candi dates for future honors. The great Free- ami and Miss Woodford will in all pro- lability como together again during the coming season in a milo and a quarter ace for big money , § 5,000 or perhaps ' 10,000 a side. It now looks as though , his meeting would take place in St. xMiis , and should itilo _ so the eyes of the racing world will , for the time being , bo ' urned toward the named city. Mod- ; sly Ten Queen , of the western turf , mil the great favorite at Washington ) ark lastseasonf is largely entered at the coming meetings , and it is said , is in irimo condition/ Pearl Jennings is not spoken so well of , while Lizzies Dwycr is ivowedly lame , butmay como through n proper form. Favor and Bersan , of the Morris stablps , is said lo bo as line is .iilk , and really fbr anything , while Joe Cotton , one of the Williams stables , was Hie winner 6f last year's. Kentucky Jorby is being spokwn of highly by all lorsumon as dangerous iu whatever events ho may enter Jhis year. Of course the great Kentucky 7Derby , which takes ) laeo at Louisville ; ilurmg the spring ucotjug there. May 14th lo 20th , is at- .racting atlcnlion "everywhere. Already ho greatest llyers of the prescribed ago n the country , west , south and Cali fornia , are entered , and Ihc event will loubtlcss prove Iho grandest racing car- ivnl of llic year. The favorites in t'ho jelling for mis great event thus far arc : Mr. Cassidy'fl Lon'glight , Messrs. Cliiiui ind Morgan's Ten Thousand , and Mr , jrccn Morns' Con Cregan , Iho books 'laving been closeil on all three. Down jast every preparation is being made for : ho opening of Iho season there , and race tracks are being put in condition , and horses trained for the coming racing events. L'ho cracks attracting ; the most alien- lion there are the live which the Dwycr Bros , paid 870,000 for at the recent Lorillard - lard sale , viz : Politico , Dow Drop , Pontiac - tiac , Winfrcd andDaruna , a half sister of Dow Drop _ . All are in first-class condi tion , and it is said that Dow Drop , the great § 29,000 filly , will have all of the three-year old stakes at her mercy , if she continues in her present goodhhapo. The Palo Alto and Santa Anita stables of the Pacific slope district are expected to show up particularly stroii" ; this year. Bald win's acquisition of Isaac Murphy , who will ride the Santa Anita cracks this year , and who is unquestionably the greatest of all American jockeys , has madu that ? reat stable more formidable than over uoforo. After the close of the season at Memphis the cracks will go to Lexington , Louisville , Labonia , St. Louis , and Chicago cage , which great mooting from June 20 to Aug. 14 , will , with $00,000 in added meeting , practically close the r.iinniiig meetings in the west. In the meantime of course the meetings at Rockaway Beach , Brighton Beach , Jerome Park , Sheopshcad Bay , Monmouth Park and Saratoga , will bo under full blast. The trotting season will bo opened at Philadelphia May 4 to 7 by the meeting at the Gentleman's Driving Park , and soou after the different trotting circuit * in all sections will have opened up for the season. Like thu base ball season , tno racing season this year promises to bo one of unprecedented brilliancy. AQUATICJ. Affairs in the aquatio world also promise much for this year. The great race between John ' 1 comer and Jake Gaudaur , for the single scull champion ship and stakes of $1,000 a side , will take place at St. Louis Juno 1 ; uud Hanlon , Ross , Gaudaur , Lee , Tcomur , and all of the great professionals are ex pected to moot in grand con test at Oak Point , N. Y , , on Decoration ' day. ! 'J Beach , the Australian champion who won the world's single scull champion ship from Hanlon .last summer on the Paramctla couriio 'near Sydney , will reach England this month , and will sland defend iipbntho Thames , , ready to , JIKMIK course his claim to thowo/Id's , ' championship. It is quite pcokiblo that Teenier , Gaudaur , Ross and' , Hanlon will cross the Atlantic to measure blades with Mr. Beach. " ' The English yacht Galatea will reach Now York some ) time in August to try during the folio\yng } nionth to wrest the Queen's cup from the Now York Yacht Club in posscsiiom i > f whicli it has boon since the creat victory of the "America" over the Knglisli yacht in 1835. The at tempts of the Genusla , thu crack English cutter to win the cup last summer against Puritan , will bo remembered by all lovers of aquatic sports. This year the Puritan mny again bo the bearer ol American colors in the nice , although the new sloop Atlantic , now building at Boston , it is said will prove her right in the trial races to bear the American pennant in this great event. ATHMiTIO. Foot-ball , lacrosse , lawn tennis , sprint ing and general athletics , are alrcadj commencing to enjoy a boom , whicli it is said will be greater than in any season heretofore known. In Chicago during the past winter , there have peen a grcatui number of. athletic events with the glove and in wrestling , than wo have enjoyed iu any season past. The great wrcotliiiE matches at St. Louis between Evan Lewis thu' Wisconsin lumberman , and Mutstuk Sorlkichl , the Jap , wtsro the most nota ble events of the year in wrestling , and wore witnessed by over 0,000 people. The great success of Lewis is remarkable , and thcro are these in athletic circles who do not hesitate to pronounce him the John Sullivan of his time in his line of athletics. In matters of the glove , thomomorablo battles of the year have not been confined to Chicago , but have extended from coast to coast of this broad country , and no past year has witnessed the growth in popularity and fame of so many young knights of the glovo. Jack Burke , J.nok Dcmpsoy , Tommy Warren , Frank ( } lover , and so many more have arisen like wonders in their calling , ami never before have such skill and science been attained in lliu cultivation of the manly art. On May 3d next Jack Burke , who I look upon to-day as the cleverest man of his weight in the world , will meet Frank Glover , the Illinois cham pion heavy weight , nt Battery D in this city. The battle promises to bo a mem orable ) ono in Iho history of the ring. It is understood that soon after , Jack Deinpsoy , the famous mid dle weight , whoso recent battle wilh George La Blanche , was telegraphed to almost every prominent newspaper in the world , will meet Charlie Mitchell , the champion middle weight , also in lids city. To those who have not seen these great exponents of the fistic art in a "battlefor blood , " further details of their style , achievements and history would doubtless prove interesting , and if lean find space in my next loiter , 1 promise to give it. For fear that I have already crowded too much into this letlor , how ever , I will put the pin in here and slop. CON CUEOAN.
