Smuggle revolutionary into Hundred Club (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

truncheon

'club' is the definition.
(type of weapon)

'smuggle revolutionary into hundred' is the wordplay.
'smuggle' becomes 'run' (I've seen this in another clue).
'revolutionary' becomes 'Che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'hundred' becomes 'ton' (I've seen this before).
'run'+'che'='runche'
'runche' put into 'ton' is 'TRUNCHEON'.

(Other definitions for truncheon that I've seen before include "Cosh" , "Policeman's traditional weapon" , "Police baton" , "Police staff" , "Peelers' baton" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
