A rival attraction to Samborski's slugging at the ball game yesterday was in the press stand, where Billy B. Van, comedian in "The Dream Girl" at the Wilbur Theatre, was broadcasting the story of the contest to radio fans through Station WNAC, the Shepard Stores. His witty comments drew to the spot a large circle of spectators, who chortled with glee when the comedian seriously made through the microphone such remarks as "Hammond knocks a foul into the grandstand.... It hits a man in an empty seat", and "The umpire calls a balk, Williams demands a recount... The umpire wins."
Mr. Van will also broadcast the Amherst game tomorrow.
