Both hands are required for these falls, which are simply an adaptation of what has just been described. The ball should be thrown exactly as described in [No. 2], but instead of moving the right hand across the body to catch the ball when it falls on the left side, the left hand should catch it, as in [Fig. 5], and should immediately return it by means of the outside fall to the right hand. But little practice is required to learn this perfectly, and when smartly performed it makes a pretty display.

5. The Horizontal Pass
In this exercise the ball should be thrown from hand to hand in as straight a line as possible ([Fig. 6]), whilst the beginner must endeavor, by continually increasing the distance between his hands, to maintain a rapid volley.
