Bowling scores (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spares

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">bowling scores</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for spares that I've seen before include "Replacement items, like tyres" , "Extras in case of necessity" , "Lets off; reserve parts" , "Is merciful towards, refrains from hurting" , "Extras with spears" .)

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