Jack Bales, reference and humanities librarian, had his article, “Franklin P. Adams’s ‘Trio of Bear Cubs,’” published in the spring 2011 issue of the peer-reviewed Nine: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture. The “trio of bear cubs” refers to the famous Chicago Cubs double-play combination of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance. In his article Bales corrects long-held misconceptions about both the men and the poem by Franklin P. Adams that immortalized them. He has submitted a second article to Nine that provides new information about Cubs executive Bill Veeck, Sr. and his journalism career with the Chicago Evening American.
