The Outside and Inside Fall from Right Hand to Left.
In this exercise both hands are brought into play. The motion of the ball is precisely the same as in [Fig. 2], but, instead of catching it with the same hand, you must now pass it from one hand to the other. Practise this at first with the hands a very little distance apart, and do not throw the ball too high. As you improve, gradually increase the height, and move your hands away until they are about three feet distant from each other. Up to this time the ball has been forming a kind of hyperbole or arch in its course. Now, without altering the position of the hands, cause the ball gradually to lower its course until it is thrown in the Fifth Practice, which is called—
The Horizontal Pass.
