Hockey Star Ezinicki
MakesProGolf Debut
In Inquirer Event
By the Assoeioied Press

PHILADELPHIA. May 14.-Bill
Ezinicki, a wing on Toronto's STAN
ley Cup championship hockey team,
makes his debut as a pro golfer In
the Philadelphia Inquirer Invita-
tional tourney today, but he isn't
cutting all his ties with the ice sport.
In making the change Ezinicki
becomes the third athlete In recent
years to enter professional golf after
establishing q reputation in a diff
ferent sport.
Before him were Sammy Byrd,
onetime New York baseball
Yankee outfielder, and Ellsworth
Vines, the king-pin of amateur ten
mis- when he decided to become a
swing for -swag golfer.
Byrd and Vines, however, made a
complete break from their previous
sports. Ezinicki, only "a. hopes to
combine the Two for period q
years before sessling down as q
teaching golf pros in his native
Canada. .
The slight, 5-10 athlete would
have his first professional round ir
the record books by now except fol
an early-morning rain that washed
out yesterdays first round. The
revised schedule, called for IL
holes today, after which the 116-
man field will be cut to the low
go and ties.
Eighteen more holes will be played
tomorrow and So on Sunday.
Although this will be Ezinickis
first pro tournament, he has been
playing golf since he was 8. He was
rated as one Of the Dominions TOP
amateurs.

For 1853 Hitter With
Kansas City in l947
BY Burton Howkins
Stor Stoff Correspondent

BOSTON, May 14-Ed Stewart,
1853 hitter with Kansas City last
year, has been obtained from the
New York Yankees to fortify the
Mats outfield. Stewart, second
leading batter in the American As
sociation last season, comes to
Washington in exchange for Out
fielder Leon Culberson and an un-
disclosed sum of cash.
Stewart, the second outf1elder
landed by the Mats in three days,
was to report here today and be
installed in the Mats outfield when
they tangle with the Boston Red
Sox tonight in the opener OF a
four-g game series. Also slated to
show here today was Garden Gil
lenwater, purchased for $4,000
from Milwaukee on Wednesday.
A possible complication arose
when Culberson, slated to report
for duty with the Yankees farm
club at Kansas City, revealed to
friends that he might return to his
Rome, Ca, residence. The 28-year-
old Culberson, repeatedly incensed
over his demotion to the American
Association, is a golf professional
at Rome during the winter months.
Barely Misses Bat Title.
Culberson, who was informed OF
the deal yesterday, was hitting .l72

Six Major Clubs Want Busby,
Hord-Hittinq T.C.U. Gardener

brought from Coach L. r.
Dutch Meyer, Texas Christian
University's football coach. who
used to be quite a diamond star
himself, the statement that
Busby is the most likely looking
major league prospect in recent
r. c. U. history. Pete Donohue,
you know, went from this school
to the big show.
His speed isn't confined to
base running and going back
after fly balls, either. The other
day he went to Track Coach Poss
Clark and asked If he could do
the 100-yard dash in a dual
meet with Southern Methodist.
Poss didn't have many track
men anyway, so he told Jim to
60 to it. Busby turned in a 10
fiat century. The next week
Clark gave him another chance
against Southern Methodist and
North Texas State. He hurried
in with a time of 9.8.
Clark was surprised to see a
youngster run that fast the first
times he ever tried. Jim admits
he was surprise, too.
The Detroit Tigers, Chicago
White Sox, st. Louis Browns,
Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs
and the st. Louis Cardinals have
made him offers, and all have
suggested an urgent need for
his signature. They'll have to
wait, however, until he finishes
the current conference baseball
campaien.

coming to the Mats from the Boston
Red Sox with Second Baseman Al
Kozar in exchange for Outflelder
Stan Spence.
A left-handed hitter and right
handed thrower, Stewart missed the
American Association batting crown
last year by five points, being nosed
out by Heinz Becker. He batted 1858
in 145 games, scored lot runs, bat
ted across 102, had 80 doubles, led
the league in triples with II, and
hit 7 home runs. He is q 160-
FOUNDER who will be 80 years old
on June Is.
Stewart was the best fielder In
the American Association last year.
He is a native of Sacramento, at
tended University OF California
Gos Angeles branch) and makes
his home at Inglewood, Calf, with
his wife and two sons. He entered
pro baseball in 1887 with San Diego
and had major league trials with
Pittsburgh in 1941 and 1912 before
being summoned to spring training
with the Yankees this spring. He
is Of German-English extraction.
Kuhel Revising Lineup.
Stewart had been employed only
as a pinch hitter with the Yankees
this year. In four trips to the plate,
he got one hit.
Manager Joe Kuhel planned a re-
vision Of his batting order. He ten
tatively figures on dropping Kozar
from second to seventh, inserting
Stewart in the No. 2 spot, and the
Mats lineup he has blueprinted is:
Eddie Yost, 3b; Stewart, RI; Gil
Coan, If; Mickey Vernon, 1b; Gill
lenwater, CT; Johnny Sullivan, IS;
Kozar, 2b; and Jake Early or AL
Evans, C.
Kuhel was to confer with Stewart
here today to determine the con-
struction of his outfield. Joe would
prefer to leave Coan in left field
but If Stewart relishes that position,
coan will be shifted to right, where
he played with Chattanooga last
year.
The addition Of Gillenwater. who
was batting 1886 with Milwaukee,
and Stewart is expected to perk up
the Mats attack. Four times this
season the Mats have been limited
to one run and three times they
have been shut out. It was that
weak hitting which prompted Clark
Griffith to snare requirements.
Washington currently is one man
over the 25-player limit and must
prune it's squad within week.
The acquisition of Gillenwater
and Stewart probably ends the
Mats quest of Outfielder Hank
Bauer, Kansas City outf1elder who
was offered to the Mats with three
other players last December in ex-
change for Pitcher Early Wynn
The Mats rejected that offer, then
attempted to reopen negotiations
during spring training, but were
stymied by the refusal of George
Weiss, Yankees general manager,
to permit Bauer to escape the New
York chain.
