Billy Gilbert to
Manage Denver
Club Next Year
By BRIGGS

Billy Gilbert, former major league
star. and more recently a successful
manager Of minor league clubs. yes
terdhy accepted terms with the owners
Of the Denver Club Of the Western
League, and will direct the pennant
ehasers Of the Colorado metropolis
next season. He will leave for the
West within the next two days, as the
contract calls for Gilbert TO take full
control before January 10.
Negotiations between the Denver
owners and Gilbert have been going
on for some weeks. but two other very
attractive offers 70 manage clubs
nearer home caused the New Yorker to
hesitate. The Denver offer finally was
made so attractive that Gilbert yester-
day notified the owners that he would
accept.
Success In building up tailenders, or
seventh place clubs, into pennant
ehasers Is Gilbert's speciality, and his
success last season WIN Nht " ehNt- =
bury club OF the Eastern League un-
doubtedly influenced the Denver own.
ers 10 pick the ex-Giant for the mana
gerial post Billy took a chronic loser
in the Brass City and finished an easy
second. trailing only Bill Donovan's
New Haven team, which was probably
the strongest Class A club in all base
ball last season. New Haven showed its
strength after the season closed by TAX
ing the measure Of Jack Dunn's Orioles
in a three-game series. Denver finished
last in the Western League last season,
so Gilbert's task is similar 20 that
which he faced at Waterbury There
was much surprise at the close Of the
season when the Waterbury owners an
nouneed that Gilbert was not 20 be
re-engaged. Herman Bronkie, n play
ing manager, is slated for the Job.
The Denver club will get some Of
John McGraw's surplus talent next
year. Gilbert and McGraw have been
close friends since the days when Billy
was n member Of the champion Giants
Of 1e04-'05. and John J. has taken keen
interest In the managerial careers of
his former pupils.
