(August 23) In an item in the August 23rd edition of the Vancouver World, the paper showed support for one of the Vancouver players under the headline of "Most Unfair".

The members of the Vancouver Baseball Club are indignant, and justly so, at an unfair and uncalled for attack on Billy Holmes, the club's short stop, which was written over the misnomer, Fair Play, and published in a morning paper. Billy Holmes has done more for the interest of the American game in this city than any other player. He has spent much time and money also in arranging matches, and has instilled life into the club. Holmes puts up good ball notwithstanding any statement to the contrary.
