Briefly

Baseball

Arizona right-hander Curt Schilling accepted a trade to Boston on Friday after agreeing to a contract extension that could keep him with the Red Sox through the end of his career. The teams agreed to the deal Monday, but the 37-year-old Schilling had to waive the no-trade clause in his current contract for it to go through. A deadline for negotiations between Schilling and the Red Sox was to expire at 5 p.m. Friday but it was extended for one day; they only needed a couple of hours.

Football

Kordell Stewart will start at quarterback Sunday for the Chicago Bears against Arizona in place of the injured Chris Chandler. Chandler's sore right shoulder, which forced him out of last Sunday's 19-10 win at Denver, made it nearly impossible for him to throw all week. After Chandler threw only a few short passes in practice Friday, coach Dick Jauron made the change. Chandler will be the team's third quarterback Sunday, behind rookie backup Rex Grossman.

Golf

Tiger Woods and his Swedish girlfriend, Elin Nordegren, got engaged during a safari vacation in South Africa following the Presidents Cup, a newspaper reported. The Expressen newspaper said Nordegren's father confirmed the engagement. Woods, 27, and Nordegren, a 23-year-old model, have been dating for nearly two years.

Tennis

Australia and Spain split opening singles matches in the Davis Cup final after an embarrassing national anthem mixup. Australia's Lleyton Hewitt opened the best-of-five competition with a 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (0), 6-2 victory over Juan Carlos Ferrero, and Spain's Carlos Moya beat Mark Philippoussis 6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (4) in the second match. The event got off to a bad start when a long-outdated Spanish national anthem was played in the opening ceremony.
