One curious thing to note about this year is that the original schedules called for a pair of games, one from each league, to be played on the All-Star Game date. Whether this was an oversight on the part of the leagues or because the All-Star Game was added to the season after the schedules were adopted I'm not sure. It appears that later on the leagues revised the schedules to move these two games to other dates to leave the day completely open for the All-Star Game.
To cover this situation, included separately is a modified 1933 schedule file which moves the two games from July 6 to the dates these games were actually played on, creating two new doubleheaders in the process and leaving July 6 completely open for an All-Star Game.
This give you the option to play the 1933 season according to the originally published schedule, and either play or skip the All-Star Game, or to use the modified schedule file and have the All-Star Game on its day all to itself.
