XIII
If the player "in holes" hit the "firstcut" in such a way that it will probably fall out of court and count as a "good 'un" he or his partner may, if they can, prevent it from doing so, by touching or catching the ball before it falls, provided that the player touching it have one or both feet on the floor of the court, or, if he jumps for the purpose, alights on the floor of the court with the foot which first touches the ground. If the ball is caught no stroke is counted; if only touched the opposite player may, if he pleases, return the ball as in Rule X; if he fail to do so, no stroke is counted. This rule only applies to "first-cut."
