Despite the gloomy national financial outlook, some optimistic investors formed a new organization, the National Professional Basketball League, in Detroit with Carl Storck as president. The membership included teams in Detroit and Jackson, in Michigan, and Dayton, Toledo, Columbus, and Canton in Ohio. In the best of seven game playoffs, Toledo’s well-balanced attack wore down Dayton in six games to give the Red Men the first, and as it turned out, only NPBL championship.
I sincerely appreciate the research work, and the information being shared. It is important and interesting history.
