National Team
In 1925, Stark earned only two caps with the U.S. national team, both in games against Canada. His first cap came in a 1-0 loss to Canada in Quebec in June. In November, Canada came to the U.S. where Stark scored five goals as the U.S. easily dispatched its northern neighbors 6-1.
While Stark received an invitation to play on the national team at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, he declined the invitation for business reasons.
In 1950, Stark was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

“I came here for one thing only, to try to help national Ireland—and if there is no such thing in existence then the sooner I pay for my illusions the better.”
—Roger Casement (1864–1916)
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
