Some years ago an all-star team
from the Central Minnesota Lea
que opposed st. Cloud in a splend-
i'd game. 1t will be remembered
by fans that Fred Kampsen, of El-
rosa, started on the mound for the
all-stars and acquitted himself
with credit. Since that time Kamp-
sen has improved and today he is
without doubt the best pitcher in
the Kandiyohi League. He has
been pitching wonderful ball and
with the help of his teammates has
placed Elrosa at the top in their
league. Incidentally the Kandiyohi
League is an offspring of the old
Central Minnesota, of which Sauk
Centre was a member some years
ago. This year. Kampsen, by vir-
tue of his pitching his team to the
second half championship with a
standing of 1000, will again start
for the all-stars from the western
part of the county. He has improv-
ed greatly and according to re-
ports from the dopesters, his offer
ings will BATTLE the opposition
