1927 SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION

Teams:

Atlanta Crackers
Birmingham Barons
Chattanooga Lookouts
Little Rock Travelers
Memphis Chicks
Mobile Bears
Nashville Volunteers
New Orleans Pelicans

SCHEDULE CHARACTERISTICS:

SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G154_T8_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="154" start_month="4" start_day="12" start_day_of_week="3"

Each team plays 154 games. Teams play each other 22 times.

Season starts on April 12 and ends on September 18. Weekday games start at 3:00. Weekend games start at 1:00. Double-headers start at noon and 3:00. No Sunday games at Atlanta, Birmingham, and Little Rock.


This is the revised schedule as published in The Sporting News (3/24/1927). The revision was made necessary when the governor of Arkansas bravely vetoed a bill that would have subjected the virtuous citizens of that state to the dangers of Sunday baseball. I had to use a fair amount of guesswork on this one because the original source material is in really terrible shape.
