TO say of James Barrett, a former Brattle-
bnro boy and brother OF Mrs. NJ. j. Mo
ran. Young Barrett left town several
years ago and served one term of enlist
ment in The regular army For the last
year he has been playing ball in the New
York state league. The article says:
Barrett is one of the best batsmen in the
league and one of the best outtielders, as
his record will show. He has played in 81
games with batting average of 1886. He
is fast base runner and his fielding aver
age in the outfeld is ,975, he having made
but one error in that position. In 81
games he has made 81 hits, II of which
were two-baggers, eight three-baggers and
four home runs. This is an excellent record
for an amateur and with another year S
experience and his excellent habits of life
he should be ready for place on one of
the big leagues.
