Relay runners' stick (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baton

(Other definitions for baton that I've seen before include "one watched by players" , "Short rod (that can be passed!)" , "It's passed in a relay race" , "Police (or conductor's) stick" , "Controller of players" .)

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