Philadelphia Basketball League (PBL)
1908-09 PBL Season Overview
Recap
After seven years of operation, the Philadelphia League folded midway in the new season. The league had been stripped of all its best players by the higher salaries available in the Central League. Germantown, with an 11-2 record, was declared champion of the league’s abbreviated final season.
