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.

“The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
—Henry Miller (18911980)
