[reporting on the NL convention] A new section was inserted into this article [article 5 section 3], as follows: “Any player under contract with a League club who shall be guilty of drunkenness or insubordination, may be suspended by such clubs for the remainder of the season, or for the remainder of that and all of the ensuing season, at the option of such club, and during the period of said suspension such player shall be disqualified from playing in or against said League.” The object of this new law is to punish offenders who do not deserve the severe penalty of perpetual expulsion.
