Crossword Genius

Sailor one associated with bowls? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jack

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'sailor' is the first definition.
(informal term for a sailor)

'one associated with bowls?' is the second definition.
(jack is a type of ball used in bowls)

(Other definitions for jack that I've seen before include "Dog akin to 9" , "Playing card; sailor" , "Car lift" , "Car-lifting tool" , "Name for sailor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
