nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the walls. By 1897-1898,
teams of five became standard.

The game rapidly spread worldwide and to Canada and other parts of the world,
played by both women and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game.
U.S. servicemen in WWII (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries.

players from abuse and to possess a less rough game in 1898. The league lasted until five
years before disbanding; its demise spawned a range of loosely organized leagues
throughout America. Its first and greatest popular teams was the Original Celtics,

dominated basketball until 1936.
