q dealt no score. Here Is the Chi
cago bidding: One heart; pass; pass;
double, by Il. When u pa sses. A leaves
the double alone, and SO does Y. Met
calfe remarks that II A follows the con-
yentions and goes to no trumps ON the
strength OF having the heart suit stopped
twice. he would have been set for $50
points, because A has no reentry for
the heart suit and Ii cannot lead II a
second time.
Nothing is said about VS. being asleep
a. the switch.
BY leaving the double In, the hand
being played at one heart, doubled, u
vas set for 200 points and simple hon
ors, A led the deuce Of diamonds and
finessed against his partner by play
ing the ten. That is probably another
Chicago popularity. but It makes no diff
ference In the result.
Then Il led n club instead OF the
spade. which cost him 100 points. b led
out both his winning clubs and then
ruffed A, who led another diamond
which duckcd Now Y shifts to the
spades and A rufus the second round.
The result is that 2 is forced twice with
the diamonds and A makes two trumps
at the end.
OF course this is bad play. On win
ming the diamond with the queen u
should have laid down the ace and then
ed spades This will bring the situa-
| ton down to a point at which will
have to lead trumps or let dummy run
the fourth round OF diamonds In either
| case trumps small and makes ace
| Jack of trumps.
| But the interesting part Of this hand
| Is the bidding. II is evident that II
| this is a fair specimen of Western ideas
| Chicago Is away behind the times in
| the matter OF take-outs. No New York
player. holding Us cards, would have
| passed up Z original bid Of one heart,
much less the double, but would have
promptly warned Y that he was in
wrong by bidding two clubs.
| II this is left in, Y will make four by
cards and simple honors. any way the
hand is played; because, as Mr. Met
calfe points ont. A can never get into
! the lead to make heart trick. or give
| b a run.
II overcalls the clubs with two
| spades, he can make it. with simple
honors against him; but z would UNI
doubtedly support the clubs. II either
or b ventured to three spades, they
| would be set. II had to say somc-
thing to Us two clubs, he might VEN
ture two hearts, which b would have
TO deny with two spades, there having
| been no double in this case. III IA went
three clubs, b might try three diamonds
which he can make, He would be set
II he went to four over the four clubs
Instead of this hand being good ex-
ample OF justifiable refusal to answer
double. il looks like good example
OF bad bidding. II a player finds he
Is going TO left at the post with n one
trick bid, doubled or not, when hi,
partner has only one small card in the
suit. he will refuse TO bid Mt all unless
he has his contract In his own hand

Conventional Double
Stirs Wide Opinion
By r. r. FOSTER.

The Knickerbocker Whist Club has
taken up temporary quarters at the An
sonia, until the new house Is ready at
26 West Fortieth street. The usual
Thursday night games for visitors will
be continued at the Ansonia during
May.
The conventional double seems to be
the principal topic of discussion among
bridge players Just now, but the opin-
ions as to it's merits are far from unan-
imous. Several persons have asked THE
Sun II the use Of this convention is
peculiar to New York, or II II is gen.
orally used throughout the country.
This Is rather q difficult question TO
answer. but hands are often sent in from
distant cities which throw some light
on the subject Both as to doubles and
take-outs. the Western customs seem TO
differ radically from those in vogue hero.
II In probably safe to take the author
ity of A. r Metcalfe Of Chicago, editor
Of the bridge department in the Chi
cago Tribune, who has an envfable rec
ord as q fine player, for the methods In
use there.
On April 10. for instance. he gives a
hand in which an original no-trumper.
no score, Ia recommended to be taken
out with two clubs. third hand holding
five clubs to the king queen Jack. The
jack and two spades, three small In one
and two small In the other suits. No
New York player would think of such
q take-out.
On the same date Mr.. Metcalfe gives
US an illustration of the advantage Of
the double when the partner does not
answer It. He gives the following dis
tribution Of the cards as a good exam
pie of a justifable refusal of the part
ner to answer the double of a bid In
suit We take this as n command to
go no trumps If the suit can be stopped
twice, as the penalties in view are not
likely to be as valuable as the game
at no-trumps.

Yes. In all suits.
T. A. X. says: Playing two hand. A

A is wrong. The trick won makes the
