 Winston-Salem, N. 0. April H. When Cletus EllWood Poffenberger was named Cletus EllWood Poffen- berger his fare was sealed
 When his parents gave him that name "A years ago they might just as well have tied a tag around his chubby wrist marked: Destined for the Brooklyn Dodgers"
 Now, after many years of un- happy association with other base ball teams, Cletus Ellwood Poffen- berger is with the Dodgers, having been purchased from the Detroit Tigers. During the coming summer he will do his pitching near the banks of the Gowanus canal, that laughing stream, which, in keeping with the Brooklyn players, wanders meaningleSsly around Ebbetts field.
 wasn't there when Cletus signed his Brooklyn papers but I imagine fates skipping one another on the back, congratulating themselves on finally getting Cletus in his proper spot. He must have been on the fates' mind as he vainly tried to fit into such places as Toledo and Detroit.
 Relief
 CletuS must be relieved to have found his place at last. There can be little doubt that he has known for . long time that he was going to wind up in Brooklyn. Because ever since he reached mans es- tate-and it took him a little longer than usual, what with that name to carry along-he has been behav- ing like a Dodger.
 Training rules were just some- thing to tack up on the wall to cov- CT spot on the wallpaper. He could break 'em faster than the managers could think them up. H. always found schedules nuisance too. This business of being at a certain spot at a certain time was beyond hif.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla, Dec. 23 Best laid plans of mice and men
 Two boys with an idea acquired two goats, one nanny, one billy, from an Oklahoma City back yard. They traded the nanny for another billy and then h eaded for wide open spaces near Oklahoma City.
 The strange procession aroused the curiosity of a citizen who called police.
 Intercepted, the boys explained their idea was this: if bull fight ing was a paying proposition in Mexico, then it ought to make a mint of money in the U. s. A if billy goats we substituted for bulls. They were all set for a trial run" when police interferred.
