Thanks for the info David. For original schedules prior to 1917 I use The Sporting News archives.

Here's an example of the 1911 National League Schedule.

Most of the schedules were posted in the third week of April and the PDF file corresponds with the page number. There's a table of contents that helps sometimes. I'm used to using it so it's fairly quick for me. Here's a link to that 1916 Giants Schedule we were talking about showing game 37 was game 2 July 4th.
