...game and portraits of dead and living players cover the walls. A painted Prince, losing in the work of St. Helier Lander something of the incipient puffiness that sits upon the living one, gazes mildly down. Sporting scenes, because they contain balanced movement, a living impulse of clean speed, have always attracted artists. Degas, for instance, cultivated the paddock almost as assiduously as he did the salle de ballet. He is represented in this exhibit by a pencil study of a horse. There is Middleton Manigault's modernistic painting of an International match; a series of Robert W. Chanler...

Called "The Silent Man from Tennessee," Geers never swore. Neither did he drink alcoholics. His passions were cigars, clean sportsmanship, straightforwardness, philanthropy and ice-cream.
