Betting on General North's organs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spleens

'organs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'betting on general north's' is the wordplay.
'betting' becomes 'sp'.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'general' becomes 'lee' (Robert E. Lee - US revolutionary commander).
'north's' becomes 'N's' ('N' can be a synonym of 'north').
'sp'+'lee'+'ns'='SPLEENS'

(Another definition for spleens that I've seen is " Organs".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
