I.--Where players agree “not to play spades” the rule
is, that if the spade make is not doubled, the hand
shall be played where either side is 20 or over.
II.--If the third hand player ask, “Shall I play?” or
should he lead out of turn, or should the eldest
hand lead without asking permission to play, the
spade maker may take two on the score or may call
a lead and require the hand to be played out.
III.--Should the third hand player double before his
partner asks permission to play, the spade maker
may decide whether the double shall stand or not;
but the hand must be played out.
