Entering this season, the Jewels sought to not only return to the ABL's championship series, but win that league's championship for the first time in their franchise's history and have their second overall championship after previously winning the final championship ever won within the Metropolitan Basketball League. During the first half of the season, the Jewels looked like they would continue to have success with their team by getting an above-average 11–8 record that only put them above the Philadelphia SPHAs / Hebrews for a second place finish there. However, the second half of the season would see a serious disappointment on their ends when they finished the season with an average 10–10 record, which would only be good enough for a third place spot behind the Jersey Reds and the defending ABL champion Brooklyn Visitations, although their placement during that half of the season would be a bit sneaky due to how close every team was during that point in the season. In any case, the Jewels would automatically fail to qualify for any sort of playoff basketball for the first time in their franchise history due to their failure to finish in first place for either half of the season. Roster Due to information on American Basketball League players being generally hard to find, there are bound to be more gaps and/or inaccuracies found in certain areas on the team's roster spots than usual.1935-36 New York Jewels (ABL) en peachbasketsociety.blogspot.com Mike Wilk 2026-10-09 https://peachbasketsociety.blogspot.com/2018/01/1935-36-new-york-jewels-abl.html1935 New York Jewels basketball Statistics en StatsCrew 2026-10-09 2026-10-09 https://www.statscrew.com/basketball/roster/t-ABLNYJ/y-1935 1935–36 New York Jewels #0953a0 #FFFFFF #ff7518 #FFFFFF Matty Begovich 1 F/C 6 5 205 St. John's 1910-10-02 Nat Frankel C 6 5 180 Brooklyn College 1905-09-16 Rip Gerson 1 F 5 10 165 St. John's 1906-04-06 Sammy Kaplan G/F 5 9 155 James Madison HS (NY) 1906-01-28 Mac Kinsbrunner 1 G/F 5 9 155 St. John's 1909-03-21 Jake Poliskin 1 G/F 6 2 175 St. John's 1912-02-09 Mac Posnack 1 G 5 11 195 St. John's 1909-06-23 Honey Russell G/F 5 11 175 St. John's 1911-09-10 Allie Schuckman 1 G/F 5 8 155 St. John's 1907-11-25 Willie Schwartz basketball 1 G 6 0 195 Cornell 1911-04-06 George Slott 1 G/F 5 11 185 St. John's 1912-06-09 Eddie Wilde American Basketball League Standings +First HalfTeamWinsLossesWinning %Philadelphia SPHAs / Hebrews145.737New York Jewels118.579Brooklyn Visitations1010.500Jersey Reds99.500Kingston Colonials1011.476Paterson Panthers / Trenton BengalsNote1 a a411.267 +Second HalfTeamWinsLossesWinning %Brooklyn Visitations128.600Jersey Reds119.550New York Jewels1010.500Kingston Colonials910.474Philadelphia SPHAs / Hebrews911.450Passaic Red DevilsNote1 a a811.421 Notes Note1 a a During the first half of the season, after losing all five of the games they played this season, the Paterson Panthers would move from Paterson, New Jersey to nearby Trenton, New Jersey on December 12, 1935, to become the newer version of the Trenton Bengals for the rest of the season.
