Later Years
During the 1926-1927 season, the Rosenblums went 17-4 in the first half of the season but fell to 9-12 in the second half. The team's decline in the second half of the season followed a falling-out between Max Rosenblum and Honey Russell that ended with Russell being traded to the Chicago Bruins. The team's leading scorers for the 1926-27 season were Nat Hickey (343 points) and Carl Husta (330 points). Having won the first half of the season, the Rosenblums returned to the ABL championship series in the spring of 1927. They lost the championship series in three consecutive games to the Original Celtics.
The team won its second and third ABL championships, known as the world series of professional basketball, in the 1928-29 and 1929-30 seasons. The team dropped out during the first half of the 1930-31 season on December 8, 1930.
