man and Herman and is obtained

Harmon stems from the Gaelic

the name was in use in ireland as

$500,00O SIunder
Suit for $4,000

NEW YORK. Nov. 81 (R).-A
neurosurgeon won a $4,000
settlement yesterday in a $780,
900 slander suit against Walter
F. O'Malley, president of the
Los Angeles-formerly Brook
lyn-Dodgers.
DR.. Samuel Shenkman, the
neurosurgeon, had operated on
the left hand of Dodger
Catcher Roy Campanella and
objected to subsequent COM
ment by O'Malley.
The settlem en- t was an
nounced during trial before
Justice Vincent A. Lupiano of
the State Supreme Court.
DR.. Shenkman based his suit
on remarks made by O'Malley
in May, 1855. after the doctor
had sued Campanella to collect
a $9,500 fee. The doctor quoted
O'Malley as saying:
Il am shocked at the press
agent story in support of DR.
Shenkman's exorbitant law suit
Of $500 for what will probably
prove to have been an unneces-
sary second operation on Roy
Campanella's hand =.
1T appears that he (Shenk-
NAM thought he was operating
on Roy's bankroll."
Shenkman held that this wa.
an implication he had per-
formed an unnecessary opera
ton and that 1t reflected un-
favorably on his reputation.

Ticket Prices Set
Ticket prices here will be

willing to make more trades.
He reported that Frank Lane,

Cleveland Indians, expressed
interest in Shortstop Harvey

The five Tigers named in
