Girl’s pulling power, a diversion (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distraction

'a diversion' is the definition.
(I know that distraction is a type of amusement)

'girl's pulling power' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'dis' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pulling power' becomes 'traction' (I've seen this before).
'dis'+'traction'='DISTRACTION'

(Other definitions for distraction that I've seen before include "Agitated mental state" , "It stops one concentrating" , "Amusement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
