In a midnight maneuver that topped the previously feeble trad- Ing efforts of the mid-winter baseball meeting, the Pale Hose sent him to the Senators for Outfielder Tait Wright and Pitcher Pete Appleton.

The deal apparently was the answer of the Chicago management to the anguished outcries of Walker concerning his bonus arrangement with the club last year Tflking a cut from $15,000 to $10,000 last year. Walker was promised a bonus If the attendance reached 600,000 and was loudly indignant when the season's turnout was announced as 592,000. Chicago gave up an experienced 30-year-old slugger who batted in ill runs last season, his poorest in six vears, for a frequent, but not timely hitter and a 35-year-old pitcher who only once In his long service with five major league clubs ever won more than eight games in a season.
