Each team plays 132 games. Teams play each other 12 times during the season.
Season starts on April 24 and ends on September 2. Weekday games start at 3:00. Saturday and Sunday games start at 1:00. Double-header games on holidays (Decoration Day (5/30), Independence Day (7/4), and Labor Day (9/2)) start at noon and 3:00, except for split home-and-home double-headers between Akron and Canton, which start at 10:00 and 3:00.
This is a very unusual twelve-team minor-league schedule from the railroad era. The vast majority of minor leagues had six or eight teams, and the Central League, which had eight clubs in 1911, was reduced to six teams in 1913.
