"NeW Look Spurned by
 EIizabeih

LONDON-rrncess Elizabeth has flatly turned down the new look, v her friends disclosed.
 And that royal No" many Brit ish fashion designers admit, has lost them at least half the battle.
 Style experts, it was reported, tried hard to win over the princess but every time hit the snag of her con .servative tastes, Particularly dis tasteful to her is the long skirt. The hemline she perters is not less than IA inches from the ground. Flouncy bits and pieces hung onto a costume in some of the current modes are not to her liking. Nor is any other fancy feature which might suggest she approved a drift to an extreme.
 Prince Philip had his say on the subject, too. In his opinion, respon- sible quoted, the new look" is pretty much a crude look. What he thinks about women's clothes certainly counts with his wife.
 We aren't making much head way with the new look',' one de-

STATISTICS SHOW BRITAIN CHANGING
 IN NATIONAL LIFE


 LONDON-Britons are going in for divorce far more than they did before the war. Crimes by women have doubled since 1895, while those by men have risen by 50 per cent.
 These changes in Britains na- tional life, are shown in the first postwar publication of the an nual abstract of statistics for the United Kingdom.
 The abstract, issued by the Cen tral Statistical Office, shows the drift of population from the rural districts in England and Wales continued More marked was the movement of people from the north to the south of England. There was large decrease. in the civil popu- latioa of the London Southeastern region.
 Illegitimacy showed signs of de- clining in 1946 after having reach ed wartime peak. The number of illegitimate births, which aver aged about 32,000 (4.5 per cent) at the outbreak of war, rose to 1000 (8.9 per cent) in 1945 and fell in 1946 to 62,000 (6.5 per cent.
 Statistics since 1870 show that every year more men than women die In 1870 by far the largest num- Der of male deaths-80 0,000 or 25.7 per cent of the total-were infants under one year In 1946 such deaths were only 7.9 per cent, and deaths of men over 75 comprised 27.6 per cent of the total.
 Figures for women show similar trend.
 In 1945 there were 312,700 hache- lors in the United Kingdom, com pared with 275,9oO in 1948; and the number of spinsters was 320,00O against 387,000.
 A large increase in the number of divorce petitions is shown. In England and Wales the number fi- led in 1946 was 4l,7o4 against 9,97O in 1888.

ANGELS HIT
 WILL HAFEY:
 WIN BY 6-5
CBy The Associated Press)


 Oakland's $l00,0OO beauty, Will Hafey, was treated like dime store trinket last night.
 The Los Angeles Angels, un- awed by Mir Hafey's recent sale to the Cleveland Indians, jumped on old Chicks nephew for three runs in the sixth and went on to win, 6-5, to remain exactly three games behind the San Francisco Seals.
 The Seals made it three straight over Hollywood by edging the Stars, 5-4, in II innings.
 San Diegos hammerin' Jack Gra- ham slapped his 17th homer with one mate aboard to pace the Pad- res 80 victory over Portland. Southpaw Al Olson Tipped a sev- en-hit shutout.
 As for Hafey, that muscled righthander was talked to a three run lead by the Oaks but couldn' t hold it as the Angels-led by Jack Sanford's homer kept pecking away.
 Sacramento at Seattle again was rained out, and doubleheader is carded tonight.

 Shuts Out
 Cardinals
By JACK HAND

Associated Press Sports Writer)
 Ray Poat's spring success takes the heat off the New York Giant officials who booted Bill Voiselle to Boston.
 The two-hit shutout that Poat threw against the St. Louis Cardi- nals yesterday Boosted the Giants into the National League lead.
 Poat, purchased from Baltimore last summer after failing to make the grade with Cleveland, now has won three of four.
 A single by Enos Slaughter in the second inning and double by Red Schoendienst in the third were the only St. Louis hits off Poat in his 50 win.
 Voiselle, who underwent an opera tion for varicose veins during the winter, blanked Chicago with four hits, 20, to leave Boston at the 500 mark. Bob Elliott drove in both runs with a single and an mfield out
 Brooklyn broke even in the west by sinking Cincinnati, 9-3, for the Reds seventh straight loss.
 Pittsburgh squeezed ahead of St.. Louis into second place in the Ma tional hy night game win over the Phillies, 5-l. Rookie Bob Chesnes, making his first start in the majors, received credit for the decision al- though he required relief help in the seventh
 There were no American League games yesterday.

Frank Carson, manager of the Champie ranch in the Bradshaw Mountains near the Humbug mine, reports some gold is being taken from the ground there. Operations also are in progress at Kings Ranch in the rugged Superstition Noun tains east of Phoenix, site of the legendary Lest Dutchman mine.
 But while gold mining on a large scale is almost thing of the past, Arizona's prospectors manage to bring out about eight or ten dollars worth of gold a day
 Besides gold, small deposits of copper, lead, silver, zinc and tung- sten have been uncovered hy indi- viduals who have combined their search for sunshine with the ad- venturous search for gold.
 However, Robert Ames, an Ari- zonan who has done more than his share of prospecting, warns dude fortune hunters of the dangers in- volved.
 The Indians don't constitute the menace they did in years gone by" but there's always the peril of getting lost or running out of wa ter. If you don't know the back country, you'd be wise in taking along someone who does"

ALL-STARS BEAT
 ASTORIA SQUAD;
 GAME LAST MIGHT
Snow Brings Winning Runs in with Homer in
 Eighth Inning

It was the last half or the eighth inning last night when the Juneau All-Stars came to bat trailing the cruiser Astoria by one mountain ous point Mierzejewski was toss ed out at first, Forsythe made a base on an error, Pasquan popped out to right field, and Joe Snow came to the plate with two men down and the game on his should CTS. He struck at one, struck at two and on the third drove weak grounded to the first sacker who had the ball on base when Snow was but half way down. Believeing the game to be over, the stands began emptying with score cards reading win for the cruiser squad.
 But not so fast Bill For sythe, umpire in chief, called the play back, declared it a foul ball and hollered play ball. Snow again took the bat in hand, wait ed for the pitch, and when it crossed the plate he didn't miss. Fact is, he boiled out his second consecutive homer in the game and sewed it up for the All- Stars.
 The All-Stars won, but there weren't two persons in the stands who would have given three yen for their chances until the seven- tn inning when Snow rapped out his first homer and Magorty made home from Nielson's base hit, ty- ing the score at five apiece.
 The game then went into an over time frame and with two men down, Moad, the Astoria catcher came to the plate to swat out the days most impressive homer deep across the center-field fence to give his team a one run lead which the All-Star more than counter acted when coming to bat.
 The Astoria launched the fire works early in the third when they trained on with the main battery and pounded the All-Star pitcher for six well-driven hits which ac- counted for live runs in that frame. Walters, Steed, Raymond, "Swede" Leichty and Andrunas came in to score. From then until the seventh the All-Stars added two runs to the single which they picked up in the first inning. Ray mond, the Astoria hurler, weak en in the sixth when an All-Star batter was walked home after three had been put on base by walks and one hit by a. pitched ball.
 In the way of outstanding field ing activities, Walters, the Astoria short, was scooping them up all over the infield and backing up the bases with remarkable accur- acy. Home runs of the day were registered by Moad, Nelson and Snow, who made it two in row.
 The game was one especially de- signed for spectators and the sec
 nd game between the two clubs yIlis afternoon at 6:30 o'clock should pack the stands and apartment house bleachers outside of the park.

Hobbying
 For Gold

PHOENIX-Dude prospecting is the latest wrinkle in Arizona gold mining.
 In the place of the bearded pros pectors of earlier days is the slick winter set. They combine sunbath- ing and hiking with gold banning in hills near the resort hotels.
 It's true that none of the rock hounds has amassed fortune from this newest hobby among the states vaeationers. But many have been rewarded by small mineral discov- cries.
 Along with the winter set, there are still those who have devoted 5heir lives to the search for the yellow metal. They butter along the ribbons of dry river beds hoping to stumble across fortune just around the next bend.
 Gold mining on commercial ba- sis has been abandoned by the lar ger mining companies. What little is taken from the ground by the operators is mainly a by-product of of copper and zinc.
 During the war, other metals were considered more essential. So gold mines shut down because of difficulties involved in getting high priority materials.
 A few small mines have re-opened since the wars end, but the unprof- itable price gold brings and high costs make large-scale operations undesirable
 Mining companies say there was never a subsidy paid on gold, and there is no free trade in the metal as there once was.
 During the depression, the govern ment set the price at $35 an ounce and ruled that all gold must be sold to the U s. mint
 The Arizona Department of Min eral Resources says small mines are operating near Mesa and Congress Junction. The Congress Mines near Congress Junction was worked until

 ROUNDUP

NEW YORK, May l4 AR-An ex- Iperienced baseball observer who has seen games in five minor leagues so far this spring reports that he has yet to see anything that remotely resembles a promising young pit cher.
 The majors had better start something that will develop few or therell be an acute shortage in a few years ..
 As real prospect, how about col legian Willard Nixon of Auburn? He tossed a no-hitter and one- hitter against Tennessee this spring gave Georgia one hit last Friday and infield dribbler by the first man up-and came back as relif man against the same team the next afternoon ;. his coach, Danny Doyle, is the former Red Sox catch CT, so the other clubs probably haven't look-in.
