The ball must be delivered in such a way that the hand holding the ball, when swung forward, passes the line at the hit below such line. If it be even with it, the delivery is a foul balk. It is not necessary that the arm actually swing perpendicular at the side of the body, but it must swing as nearly so as the underhand throw admits of. Any delivery is legal which allows of the hand holding the ball passing below the line of the hip.
