Philippe Gangnat's father, Maurice, made his money in steel, took no interest in painting until 1903. In that year he met Pierre Auguste Renoir, bought twelve paintings right off the bat and soon became a fast friend of the old painter. Before the artist died in 1919, Steelmaster Gangnat had accumulated no less than 150 paintings in the softly-modeled, peach-bloom style of Renoir's later years. After Maurice Gangnat's death in 1924, his son let all but 50 paintings go at an auction. The fineness of the 50 last week impressed the Pennsylvania...
About eight years ago the Compañia Argentina de Alpargatas, a Buenos Aires shoe company, was lucky enough to sign up a 39-year-old artist named Florencio Molina Campos.

...Healey's fast ball has been inconsistent to date. He is leading the circuit pitchers in strike-outs with 13, but against the Tigers was definitely off and batted from the mound. Although John Mahoney held B. U. to a stand-off, the veteran slow-ball artist can not be counted on as a consistent winner in Ivy competition...
