Lou Sugarman was a teenage contemporary and occasional teammate of Barney Sedran and Marty Friedam on New York City’s lowerEast Side. Considered the best of  the bunch at that age , Sugarman won a scholarship to Syracuse University and later played at Notre Dame. Sugarman turned pro with the 1909-10 Hudson, New York team in the Hudson River League. Sugarman’s pro career, that spanned almost twenty seasons, was marked by turbulent relationships with teammates, and frequent outbursts at referees and opponents. Throughout his years in professional basketball, Sugarman remained a highly emotional battler, whose personality often overshadowed his substantial talents as a player. Sugarman was an good ballhandler and a excellent shooter. He frequently shot the ball with one hand, a very unusual sight in the early years of basketball. He led the New York State League  in scoring during the 1913-14 season. His most successful stint with one team was his three year (1914-15 through 1916-17) stay with the Philadelphia Greystock of the Eastern Basketball League, during which the team captured two league championships. On eight occasions during his career, Sugarman was hired as the coach of a professional team, but he never completed an entire season with any team without being fired or resigning. In 1920-21, he coached Princeton University for a half season, but quit in disgust with the comment that the players needed a baby-sitter, not a coach. When his playing career was over, Sugarman, who had graduated from Philadelphia Dental College in 1917, focused  on his dental practice and turned with success to refereeing. He remained among the top echelon of basketball referees for the next twenty years.

Walter “King” Brady was recognized as one of the best players in Philadelphia when he was only 17 years old. At age 18, he made an auspicious professional debut with De Neri’s Philadelphia Basketball League team.  Brady possessed a maturity and court presence that belied his age. He finished the season tied for third in field goals. The following season, Brady was one of the keys when De Neri won the PBL championship. In 1906, Brady was signed by Pittsburgh’s South Side team in the newly organized Central BasketballLeague. At age 20, with two outstanding seasons behind him, Brady seemed on the verge of becoming one of pro basketball’s biggest pro stars. It never happened. In the stiffer competition of the CBL, Brady never did emerge as the offensive force that he was in the first years of his career. He was quickly overshadowed by teammates such as Harry Hough and Chief Muller. Some of this was attributable to the injuries that hampered him during much of his career. While he never became a star, Brady proved to be a steady, valuable professional who became the heart and soul of the South Side team. He was the only player to remain on the team’s roster throughout its six year tenure in the CBL. While he was never the best player on the team, Brady was usually the most popular both with fans and teammates. He was admired as a tough but fair competitor and a hard-working, inspirational teammate. He was named captain of the South Side squad on three occasions. When the CBL disbanded in 1912, Brady returned to Philadelphia where he played in the Eastern Basketball League  for three more seasons. In 1915, Brady was diagnosed with tuberculosis which he battled for seven years before he passed away in 1922 at the age of 37.

Bill Powell’s career  spanned  the seven-year history of the Central Basketball League. Powell was a mainstay of  his hometown team, East Liverpool Potters, the most powerful   independent team in eastern Ohio during 1904-05 and 05-06 seasons. When his younger brother, Earl, was cut from the Potters on the eve of the 1906-07 Central Basketball League  season, Powell demanded and received his release as well.   He was quickly signed by the Greensburg club and soon established himself as one of the most dependable centers in the CBL.  Powell was never much of a scorer, but he was always a strong rebounder and effective defender close to  the basket.  Powell also played professional baseball for eight years. He made brief appearances in the major league during four seasons.
