Sculptor Bufano promptly challenged Pegler to make good on his offer to sculp something better. The horseplay stage of the controversy then began. Old Newshawk Pegler played ball with the boys by posing for photographs in an artist's smock and beret. Sculptor Bufano made a scornful sketch of Sculptor Pegler's statue.
