AMERICAN BASKETBALL LEAGUE (II)
28-7 .800, 1st place

Semifinals: Lost to Jersey, 2-1

Prior to the 1938-39 season, the original Kingston Colonials disbanded when Pop Morgenweck's health deteriorated and was unable to continue the team. Kate Smith's New York Celtics were transferred to take Kingston's place. The Celtics had lost their home court in the Big Apple, the Hippodrome, which was booked for the winter for jai alai.
