This class-D league played a split schedule, with the first half ending after the games on July 9.

The published league schedule doesn't actually show any double-headers. I only found that information in the article that accompanied the schedule (Johnson City Chronicle, 4/17/1924). Going strictly by the published schedule and eliminating the double-headers, we get a rather elegant 96-game schedule with the following characteristics:

SCHEDULE type="ILN_BGY_G96_T6_C_" inter_league="0" balanced_games="1" games_per_team="96" start_month="5" start_day="15" start_day_of_week="5"

Teams play 96 games. Teams play 48 home games. Teams play each opponent 18 or 24 times.
