heart lead would enable the de-
clarer to run seven consecutive
tricks. So, if South happened to
have the heart Q, the club A and
the club g or.J, which was quite
likely. the declarer would squeeze
East. The latter, retaining the
heart K and the club K-Q, would
build up the game trick for the
declarer by her discard on the last
diamond. If she threw the heart
K, the @ would be good; if she
tossed one of her two clubs. the
declarer would get the extra trick
in that suit.
Mrs. Hazen therefore did not
lead heart to the fifth trick, but
a club. This broke I'D commune
cation with the declarer's two
holdings prematurely, beating the
contract a trick.
