NEW YORK, September 24.-President
James +. Gaffney Of the Boston National
League club admitted last night that
plans had been discussed for post-sea-
son series between the Braves and De-
troit Tigers. The scheme as outlined is
to have these probable runners-up of the
National and American Leagues entertain
the Boston populace at Braves Field the

in Philadelphia, provided, of course, that
the series is fought out by the present
leaders.
The matter rests between Secretary
Hapgcod of the Braves and Hughie Jen-

have discussed the matter. but no definite
action has been taken as yet 1 will
