Schedule Characteristics:
SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G154_T8_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="154" start_month="4" start_day="16" start_day_of_week="6"
Each team plays 154 games. Teams play each other 22 times during the season.
Season starts on April 16 and ends on September 12. Weekday games start at 7:00. Weekend and holiday (Confederate Memorial Day (4/26 - Georgia and Alabama)) games start at 1:00. Weekend double-header games start at noon and 3:00. Weeknight (twi-night) double-header games start at 4:00 and 7:00.
July 4 fell on a Sunday in 1937, so holiday double-headers were played on July 5. Oddly, Decoration Day also fell on a Sunday (May 30 and July 4 always fall on the same day of the week) but there were no double-headers scheduled for May 31, suggesting to me that that Monday wasn't a holiday - at least not in the South.
