Spee Bear, Long Bare, Found Bowed, Stuffed and Repaired

Responsibility for the recent Spee bearnapping still remains nebulous even as the missing mammal reappeared last night locked in the showcase of a fashionable haberdashery across the street from the club.

Speemen, horrified at the discovery of their three foot, black mascot in public, clad only in a bow tie, were pushing the probe. One prominent clubman was heard to remark, "A Spee bear would never be seen without his old school tie and oxford cloth button down." We are grateful, however, for the stuffing and repair job done on the beast during his misadventure. In the great Spee tradition the bear will return to the clubhouse in much better condition than when he left."
