 This team was named the Stars, after the number of football players on the team who were considered football stars during the era.The team was owned and operated by Berry, the former manager of the Latrobe Athletic Association.However many historians believe that due to Berry's limited wealth and the amount of talent on team, that Pittsburgh Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss and/or Pirates president William Chase Temple (who briefly owned other pro football teams in Pittsburgh only to see them fail in short fashion) may have secretly owned the team, a statement both vehemently denied.
