James NJ. Barrett, Of Augusta, Ga.

James NJ Barrett, of Augusta, Ga.
who won the trapshooting champion
skip of his state in a spectacular con-
test the other day, has engaged in
this form of sport a short time. On
that account his great success is
all the more remarkable. In June,
1912, when the Augusta Gun Club
vas organized, Mr.. Barrett did his
the very beginning his scores were
excellent. AT Denver, Col, that year,
he was given 81 yards handicap, and
broke 81 out CT 100 During 1913 his
average was .943 and 50 far this sea-
son Il has been about SO per cent.
He won the Georgia championship at
Americas in May by breaking 20
straight in the shoot-off after the
score had been tied, SO out of 100.
In the state championship event at
Augusta last month, Mr. Barrett, who
uses a Remington pump gun and Ar
row shells, was tied with Mr.. w.
H. Jones, of Macon, and Mr.. Benja-
min c. Yancey, of Rome, with seer
OF SO out of 100. In the shoot-off
Messrs. Barrett and Jones tied three
times, the former finally winning, rs
out of 80, against the datters rs out
OF 80. This beginner, who has jump
ed into the limelight as a champion
trapshooter, has prosperous bust
ness in Augusta, dealing in floors,
screens and blinds.
