James did not appear in the World Series that season but, as the 1934 Atlanta Crackers offical scorecard put it, did "cut in on the world series melon." The Giants bought his services after James finished a close second to Hank Greenberg in the Texas League MVP voting in 1932. The 1933 Spalding Guide described him as "the main cog in the Dallas team." James also worked as a rancher in Encinal, Texas. He and his wife Mary had a son, Robert Byrne James II, who worked as a veterinarian.
