4. STRETCHING A ROPE
The sleeve is used in this feat also and it makes an excellent introduction to the preceding feat.
Preparation. Take about seven yards of flexible cotton rope, remove your coat, double the rope, grasp the ends with your right hand, and don the garment. Pack the middle of the rope carefully in the right trousers pocket; close the right hand on the ends, holding it so that about two feet of rope protrude from the thumb side of the fist and about eighteen inches from the little-finger side.
Method. Enter with the rope in position. Invite a boy to come up and help you. Place him on your left and give him the longer end to hold. Now propose a tug of war and incite him to pull his hardest against you. Allow the rope to glide very slowly through your right fist until it is stretched out to its full length.
