It could be out of dish. Check that by putting the wheel in backwards. If the wheel is out of dish, the tire will be off-center in the other direction when you put it in backwards. If the wheel is dished correctly, it will be off center in exactly the same way as it was before.
If your wheel is perfectly dished and your tire is not centered in the stays, then something is out with your frame. Since your Sam has vertical dropouts, you can't center the tire between the stays by shifting it. Frames with horizontal dropouts allow you to correct things like that.
