Lion Tackles S Beard
Keeps Chest Warm
BY BOB MURPHY
Sports Editor

Big favorite with the many
Windsorites who gather each day
to witness the Detroit Lion prac-
tice sessions Is burly, 250-pound
Luke Linden.
In the first place. he's the big
geSt man on the squad. Secondly,
there's never any mistaking where
he may be on a play as every
time this tackle charges he let's
loose with a deep-throated roar
which qualities him as the closest
thing in camp TO an actual Lion.
Luke's background is just as
cOlOrful. He played collegiate
football mt the University of
Kentucky and halls from tho
Blue Grass country himself. At
the start of the war he went 10
Greenland with n construction
company, stayed there two
years, building such things As
air strips and landing docks, and
returned with n chest-length
beard which he had raised To
help keep warm.
In the off season he is not con-
tent merely TO follow his chosen
occupation OF construction work.
For instance. in recent months he
supplemented his income as a
road building engineer by working
a spell as crouPieF evenings TN a
southern gaming Spot-quite ac-
ceptable in that part Of the coun-
try though perhaps drawing off,
cial frowns. if nothing more, up
here.

The Lions are breaking all their
previous records i'm the advance
sale of tickets and it appears that
the attendance boom which Briggs

this summer will continue right
on through the fall

ner, As seems likely, an all-time
Lion crowd record for one sea-
son may be established. Coach
Gus Dorais has more To work
with this season than at any
time i'm his three years In pro-
fessionAI football. what with 20
men back from the 1914 squad
plus presence OF some good new
corners.
In addition, the return parade
OF prewar players appears under
way with the return Of Chuck
Fenenbock. II the Lions. as they
anticipate, benefit from further
service discharges il should prove
a mighty successful campaign.

Expect Trucks, loo

1T takes time TO get pro-
cesSed out" Benton explained,
"but some times they cut the
time short Maybe they'll do
that with Trucks now that the
war II over"
The Tigers expected Bridges 10
rejoin them in ST. Louis, where
they play games Tuesday and
Wednesday night. The 3S-year-old
right-handcT who was the pitch
ing star Of the Tigers smashing
triumph over the Cubs in the 1898
World Series. has been in active
service since 1912, his last year
with the Tigers
During 13 seasons with the
Tigers, he has compiled a rec
ord of $50 victories against l30
defeats. He topped the 20-victory
mark in 1884. 1895 and 1886. A
sergeant, Bridges was stationed at
Camp Crowder, Mo, until this
spring when he was transferred
10 Washington. y. G.
Bridges, like Bob Feller and
others, is expected 20 show that
big leaguers are quite capable
Of reclaiming their old form.
Besides Feller who got off TO a
brilliant start with superb
victory over the Tigers under
the lights here the other night,
among others, the list of come
backs include Hank Greenberg,
Al Benton, Red Ruffing. Buddy
Lewis and Charley Keller.
Though the defeat was costly
Tigers generally were warm in
their praise of Fellers's comeback
pitching test.
HE looked plenty good TO
me-" Greenberg declared. MAY
be IL was me that wasn't 80
good. But, seriously, his fast
ball was hopping and he showed
me some new curves"

scored when Outlaw let Secreys

AL Benton, who started the sec
ond game, for the fifth time IN a

But, he was not charged with the
loss. No, his record still stands

dubious honor of losing after the
game had been once tied up.
The winner was Steve Gromek,

Tigers four times as against only
one loss this season. II was
Steve'S sixteenth triumph Of the
year as against but seven defeats.
Not only did Gromek BATTLE the

EX-TIGER TOUGH

Les Fleming, onetime Tiger who
recently rejoined the Indians after
having worked in a war factory,
poked out two of the hits off
Trout, one OF them a tWo-bagger.
The Tigers scored their only
run Of the contest in the fourth
inning With one out Cramer
doubled TO left and later scored
on single Roy Cullen bin G
dropped into centerfield. Trout
tore off a booming triple in the
fifth with one out bat died on
base as Reynolds took good care
of Outlaw and Eddie Mayo. Mayo
returned to the lineup after being
on the sidelines with an ailing
arm.
The Indians scored two tallieS
/ in the home half Of the fifth. Pat
Seerey walked and Frank Hayes
singled. Then came Trouts boot
1 on a sacrifice by Reynolds. Trout
lin his anxiety tried to make the
play before he had the ball, or
maybe he was shooting for the
side pocket. Result - the bases
were loaded with none out Trout
could have taken one of Detroit,
/ Irickety old Streetcars and got tC
third in time 10 tag Seerey, hac
he not scrambled the play.
Frightening the picture for tn,
( Tigers, momentarily at least, CT
; hoCki struck out. A little later
Sccrcy scored as Mickey Rocco
| forced Reynolds at second on Z
grounder TO Joe Hoover. And
when Fleming singled 10 Mayo
back of second, Hayes clicked a,
the plate. JEFF Heath fouled out
retiring the side.
