"HERE are two conventions which
am continually asked about by all
n classes Of players. One OF these IS
the so-called spade convention and the
other IS the "informatory pass.1
Both Of these are part and parcel OF
the conventional double. To begin with
the spade convention. this il simply u
term given 10 q situation that asks the
partner TO give the preference to the
spade suit when he is picking out bid
as an answer to q double.
The circumstances vary with the nature
Of the bid doubled. The first thing to re-
member thai the bid which is doubled
must never be a spade, leaves the possibil-
ity Of a spade bid 10y the partner open.
The condition Of the double is that the
doubler should always be ready TO sup
port spade bid. however weak the call
may be- even four TO the nine.
The convention therefore amounts -
this; In answer TO the double OF any
thing but a spade the partner should cal
spades. If he has four Of them, IN prefer
ence u any other suit, even four good
hearts on FIVE or more clubs or diamonds,
one Of which, OF course, must be the suit
doubled
Suppose the dealer calls clab. second
hand doubles and'third hand passes Ii
the fourth hand holds four spades 10 the
nine. four hearts 10 the ace, queen and
FIVE diamonds to the ace, king queen, he
should lid the spades. That Is what MS
