[describing the new NL standard contract] ...it is expressly stipulated in the League contract that the player may be suspended from play and from pay at any time when he shall be deemed by the club management to be disqualified from playing with the requisite skill, by reason of illness, injury, insubordination, or misconduct of any kind; or whenever he shall, by the captain or manager of the nine, be considered as lacking in the zeal, willingness, or physical condition necessary to the rendering of satisfactory service as a ball-player.
