For several seasons Sammy Byrd has been the Bambino's understudy slated to i'll the right field reg ularly when dawns the dreaded day on which Mir Ruth must bo re- placed. He has mastered ths heros mlncing step and puffed-out chest, and at times hts batting prowess,
 Keeps Busy
 He has even gone Into the out field on afternoons when the mas ter snowman felt lndisposed or de- sired to conserve hts slender legs In the closing innings of games apparently clinched.
 Unfortunately for the southern. talking lad, the Babe is taking such Q long time to fade that sammy may be wearing Q coloners goatee before ho gets Q real chance. How over, Manager Joe McCarthy Is definitely sold on Sammy as the Bambino's successor. This was ems phasized at the December league meetings whe nseveral managers tried to wangle the 26-year.old fly- chaser away from the Tanks.
 Early last season 1t seemed that Byrd had tired of waiting and was going right out to take the Babes Job away. His terrific hitting on tho way north from St Petersburg landed him regular berth in cen- terfield, displacing Earl Combs - anr he was gazing, ,menacingly over at the coveted right-fleld station.
 He started the season with n bang, blasting out two home runs, . triple and . pair of singles in Ave times at bat against the mighty Athletics. But he couldn't hold this stride. His batting fell off, and shortly afterwards Combs was back. Although he participated In 104 games in 1932, he was at bat only 209 times for 62 hits and an average of ,297.
 New Southpaw
 The other Yankee players who signed were three pitchers, veteran Wiley Moore, Young Marvin Duke and Big Walter Brown, and in- fielders Lyn Lary and Bill Werber. Duke is the lone newcomer. He's Q left-hander of unusual promise whom the Yanks purchased last fal from Erie of the Central League, where he won 23 games and lost only four. He's Q former Georgia Tech star.
 Werber, although not with the Tanks last season, Is not Q strang- CT, having bobbed up with the world champions back in 19S0 whom fresh from Duke University. He played with Buffalo, Jersey City and with Buffalo again last season where he hit .292.
