"The Red Sox are counting a good deal on this young left-hander, who last season figuratively stood the batters of the International League on their heads. Pitching for Rochester, he won 16 games and was beaten only 7 times. He might have made even a better record, had it not been for an appendicitis attack which laid him low in July. Ostermueller is 26 years old, 5 feet, 11 inches. tall, 175 pounds in weight. He entered professional Baseball in 1926 after leaving St. John's College. In his early days he was troubled with pitching wildness, but now has good control."
