so daijisen and meikyo quite clearly say that sense 2 is 'wrong' or 'colloquialism'/'slang'.  and Paul's internet references seem to suggest that this actually has the ~literal~ meaning of using a baton.  so perhaps this amendment is an improvement?  (or maybe the senses need to be flipped?)  i'm completely unsure

"incorrect" japanese, so i guess it's marked [col] or [sl]
