NEWARK FOR GILBERT.
Giants Second Baseman Will PLAY
With Eastern League Team.

New York, Jan. 13.-William Gilbert
who has played second base for the
New York National League baseball
team. will play with the Newark team
in the Eastern League. Gi!bert's place
on the New York team has not yet
been filled.
Second base last year was generally
regarded as one Of the weak spots in
the Polo ground aggregation. From
present Indications it is McGraw's in
tention to replace Gilbert with Danny
Shea, formerly of the ST. Louis Cardi-
rals. and Shortstop Dahlen with Tom
my Corcoran.
Billy Gilbert has been one of the
greatest second basemen in the ma
tional game for several years He was
one of the players brought by McGraw
from Baltimore at the time the latter
jumped to the polo grounds, and was
one of the mainstays of the team in IT.;
two peQnant- winning campaigns of
1904 and 1905. He and Dahlen made q
combination that was considered I'M
beatable. Both. however, failed to play
up to their best form last year.
