study of the various ‘passes
Being thoroughly master of this first lesson, you may proceed to the
study of the various ‘passes.’ All of the passes have the same object
–viz., the apparent transfer of an article from one hand to the other,
though such article really remains in the hand which it has apparently
just quitted. As the same movement frequently repeated would cause
suspicion, and possibly detection, it is desirable to acquire
different ways of effecting this object. It should be here mentioned
that the term ‘palming’ which we have so far used as meaning simply
the act of holding any article, is also employed to signify the act of
placing any article in the palm by one or the other of various passes.
The context will readily indicate in which of the two senses the term
is used in any given passage.

the noose is circled above the head with the right, and thrown when
the proper swing has been reached
The greater part of the rope is held coiled in the left hand, while
the noose is circled above the head with the right, and thrown when
the proper swing has been reached.

the Ins and the Ins are out
The Outs cannot count when the Ins miss, but they take the place of
the Ins and the Ins are out. After the first hand up or play it is
unnecessary that the ball should rebound beyond the taw line. Fifteen
points make a game. In England the boys have the same game under the
name of Fives.

good physique, and the very first, and by far the most useful of
these, is walking
There are certain exercises that every athlete must take to have a
good physique, and the very first, and by far the most useful of
these, is walking.

Mr. Dan Beard, the famous American artist and author, and an authority
in such matters, thinks the sloop is the most graceful of all the
single masters. This is the type of our great yacht racers. Next to
the sloop, and very much like it, is the schooner rig yacht. This is a
fine boat, but beyond the pockets of boys; however, smaller sizes can
be rigged on the same plan, with a jib and mainsail, and they will be
found to be both safe and swift.

that usually results in tumbling both over
So the game goes on till a player fails to clear First Back, a failure
that usually results in tumbling both over. The player who fails is
‘it’ for the next game, which begins at once.

proposition to face, but if he succeeds he has a second try when he
removes his own hat or cap without knocking the others off; and so it
goes on till all the hats are removed
If there are many boys the hats pile up and the last jumper has a hard
proposition to face, but if he succeeds he has a second try when he
removes his own hat or cap without knocking the others off; and so it
goes on till all the hats are removed.

favored by the wind, and the other team have the kick-off
If a strong wind is blowing, the winner of the toss-up takes the side
favored by the wind, and the other team have the kick-off. If there is
no wind to speak of, and no great advantage in either goal, the winner
of the toss-up chooses the kick-off, and the other side have the
choice of goals.
