His phenomenal hitting earned him another chance with the Yankees in 1929. He looked like a great outfielder in the making if anyone ever did.| Babe Ruth was getting on in years as a capable substitute was needed to fill in for him every once in a while. Sammy Byrd was nominat- | ed for the job. 1 The Form Disappears | As it turned out, the substitute for the King of Swat spent most of his afternoons warming the bench while waiting for an oppor- | tunity to fill in for an inning or two. Byrd had little chance to prove his real worth. ! When he did get into the game he showed only flashes of great- ness. He lacked the confidence of a regular. A poor day at bat or a bad break in the field left him worrying about his place in the lineup. Sammy just couldn't click! Manager Joe McCarthy did not share Miller Huggins views on the capabilities of Byrd. So for six years when he should have been developing his talents on the dia- | mond, Sammy was consigned to the | bench and substitute service. | Opportunity did finally knock last | season when Ruth slowed up woe- fully and Combs was injured but the years of bench duty wore heav- ily and Byrd was not impressive. That chapter with' the Yankees | is a closed book, for the New York | club has sold him to the Cincin-| nati Reds for the inter-league wai- | ver price. } Brooklyn and Pittsburgh put tn: bids for Sammy but the Reds had ! first choice because they finished in eigth place. The Yankees were} satisfied to put him in the NB-; tional league where he could do them no harm. | Remember Durocher Deal? | If this trade turns out well for the Reds as the other waiver desll 049' DAILY SPORTS CARTOON~ By Pal; FOR SIX OF ME ST YEARS OF HIS AMLETI(C LIFE HE SATON HE YANKEES BENCH, GETTING NO CLOSER> 10 86 LEAGUE FAME THAL THINKING ABOUT (T CINCINNATI REDS | and John Walmer, will face Team |- h m By Vi | | | long list of prize winners in the re- | z | cent three-league mixed bowling | B | Announcing the start of another | mixed bowling league sponsored by 1935 edition of the annual inter-|the local Elks Club, three games be played tonight at the Elks complete release of the | Goyernment Hospital this morning personnel of the competing teams pinners, led by G.
