CYCLING
GILES DISQUALIFIED (Teh United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 11. G, R. Giles has been disqualified for two years by the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Amateur Cycling Association. Giles, it was stated, rode as an amateur at English Park, Christchurch, on March 17, and after gaining a financial .clearance from his club, he entered for events at Ashburton on March 19. He applied for a clearance from the association, this being necessary before he could compete as a professional. He sent, however,' a copy only of his clearance from his club to be endorsed by the association. He was not granted a clearance from the association as he was on one year’s probation for a breach of the association’s rules, and also because he was held by a bond signed in 1936 promising the Olympic Games Association that he would not turn professional until two years had elapsed from the time of his return to New Zealand late in 1936 after attending the Olympic Games in Berlin. He had turned professional and broken the bond.
