Tries out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tests

'tries out' is the definition.
('test' can be a synonym of 'try out')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tests that I've seen before include "Trials for cricketers" , "Trials to see if something works" , "Trials -- tribulations" , "Major cricket matches" , "Trials, exams" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Newsday, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the Evening Standard, the Universal and The New York Times.
