37 Rum sauce

Odd rum
Espied saw
Secret service ss

[poodledoo]

I'm wondering if odd refers to rum, in which case it could be rum baa baa or rum punch, although I can't see how either answer refers to espied secret service.

20)Wooden hammer position indicator spheres

a couple of us have suggested melon balls but while I can see the sounds(abit)like "maul on balls" I can't see where WOODEN fits in

[cashier]

Maul is a wooden hammer

[fiction-factory]

Ah thanks, I looked up maul but only saw the verb for giving a severe beating which i linked to hammer. I didn't see the wooden hammer meaning

[cashier]

In the Oxford Living Dictionaries it says
Origin: Middle English hammer or wooden club
