Short staff (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cane

'short staff' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cane that I've seen before include "Beat - bamboo - stick" , "Slender support, for 32 across say" , "Rod for beating" , "Walking stick; punish" , "Strong, flexible stem" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Newsday.com.
