The Blackwood convention iiseful only on those hands where ill yon need to know to decide ibout a slam Is the numbei of aces and kings held by your isrtner. On many hands, however, that information is not enough. In such cases the Blackwood convention will not solve your problems. Other methods are needed and often they require complete partnership understanding. In today’s hand, for example when his partner opened the bidding first hand with one diamond. Mr. Champion immediately starts thinking about a grand slam. It was almost certain that Mr. Masters held the are of diamond . In any case Mr. Champion could have found out about that very easily by bidding four no trump. But be figured that after gaining that information, he still would be undecided as to whether a grand slam was rt worthwhile risk. There would .still be the possibility of a diamond losei. Suppose, for example. Mr- Masters’ hand was: 8- Q 6 .1 2

H- f>

D- A K 8 2 ’ C- K Q .1 2 That hand is a sound opening and yet the odds would be against bringing in the diamond suit without loss. Mr. Champion therefore decided to paint a clear picture of his hand and let his partner make the final decision. He jumped the bidding in hearts, then bid spades and clubs and finally jumped to six diamonds sifter Mr. Masters rehid that

suit.

The six diamond bid made it clear to Mr. Masters that Mr. Champion had been very willing to play the hand in diamond, all along. How could he have bid Uuee other suits, then? It looked like at least two of the other suits were bid for the purpose of indicating no losers Masters had never indicated anything morn ^h;ui a bare minimum openihg and yet his partner had taken him to six-odd and without checking on aces and kings In the South hand. Holding a diamond suit of pretty good proportions and a partial fit in Mr. Champion's heart bid, Mr. Masters read the situation correctly and bid the grand slam which was easily made.

Of his occupation before and after the war we don't have particulars until the time of his marriage, which occured in 1818. near Greensboro, N. C. After their marriage they were made aversects of a number of color'd people belonging to a wealthy planter. And they can tell you much of those 'old slavery days'. - A few years after their marriage they concluded to try thei) 'orttujys m the North, and came to this county, where they have ;ince i csided.
