Alexander called "The Complete Boxer," a text book on boxing which sold for a shilling. (Circa 1925-1930) · In 1933 Scott became a boxing instructor for the Egyptian Police. The Tyrone Daily Herald – 26 Feb 1930 ENGLISH accents not uncommon along Florida's east coast in the Winter season, are more pronounced than ever this year among the society set now that Mr. .Philip Suflling (Scott) of Old Kent Road Manor, London, has been accepted as the social successor to that polite limelight so long enjoyed by M. Georges Carpcntier of Paris. This Scott Gentleman — with his ballroom carriage, beaming smile, and Mayfair conversational flair — is quite the regular among society folk. Phil's that "top ho chap, you know," who will brave "The terrible Sharkey Man" tomorrow night. He may even display the drawing room nonchalance such as "Gorgeous Georges" affected when facing the "Mauling Dempsey. : Oh, well, "My Phil" (as "Jimmy" Johnston, his'American manager, calls him) would seem to have a better chance against the temperamental typhoon known as Sharkey than Carp bad against The Mauler in the hitter's prime. Scott is bigger than the gallant Frenchman and, Sharkey seldom has shown such a destructive attack as was once Dempsey's. Phil has a chance of outboxing Jack if the hitter's mood happens to be uninspired and, if he can ride Sharkey's early 'rushes, he might tire less easily than the nerve wrought, plunging U. S. champ. Scott is thoroughly experienced and a genuinely skilled boxer. He probably will try to keep away from the bull-like Sharkey during the early rounds (will there be more than one? some prophets ask ) and tire out Jack by the orthodox English tactics of "boxing" him. If his plans succeed, the British champ will have the distinction of having sprung the most startling upset in heavyweight history. Of course, in the stress of battle it is possible for Scott to win on a foul. Even if he .ignores or doesn't feel a low blow this time, the argus eyed Johnston is more than sure to see such. He's a very smart fight pilot, is James Joy of the Johnston clan. He got Scott the rich Miami shot after Phil had been hissed from our shores following "the light foul" with which he was awarded victory over Otto Von Porat. No wonder "Jimmy" thinks his Phil is a bloomin "man of destiny." Like a ring Napoleon, Scott's Austerlitz — or Waterloo — lies right before him in Miami. .
