The Newark Stars were a Negro league baseball team in the Eastern Colored League, based in Newark, New Jersey, in 1926.[1][2] The team's owner was Wilbur Crelin and its manager and third baseman was Andy Harris.[3] The team featured outfielder Charlie Mason and second baseman George Scales; the other players were largely castoffs of other Eastern Colored League teams. Sol White, in his last appearance in uniform after a career spanning nearly 40 years in professional baseball, served as a bench coach. They played at Davids' Stadium (later known as Ruppert Stadium), the home of the Newark Bears of the International League. The Stars disbanded mid-season, and only won one game, while losing 10.[4][5]
