Philadelphia Basketball League (PBL)
1904-05 PBL Season Leaders
Recap
The eight-team Philadelphia League expanded to a 40-game schedule featuring a league contest every night for twenty-one weeks. Eight other leagues and dozens of independent teams operated as well in the basketball-crazed city. Conshohocken, with 31 wins in 39 games, won the Philadelphia League title. Known as the “Wonder Workers,” the lineup featured scoring ace Steve White, all-star center Bill Keenan, and defensive whiz Charlie Bossert. Behind the work of high-scoring Jack Reynolds, North Philadelphia finished in second place. Defending champion Jasper, playing without the services of their top scorer, Whitey Schwer, dropped to third.
