Johnson Is Twice Defeated.

Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 5. —Yesterday in the mile professional event John S. Johnson was beaten by Sanger and O’Connor. The surprise of the day came in the two-mile professional handicap. C. J. Appel, a Rochester man, who has been in the ranks two or three years without doing much riding, started on the 235-yard mark, maintained a big lead, and finished rods ahead of the bunch. Johnson was thrown from his wheel and did not finish.
