SCOTT BITTER ABOUT DECISION.

THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.]

MIAMI, March 1. After a sleepless night despite injections of morphine, Scott is resting at the Miami Solarium and is receiving special electrical treat ment to his injured sciatic nervs. He will probably be in hospital for several days still.

He is most bitter about the fight. He said to a Reuter's representa tive: I got a dirty low dead Sharkey knew I did not want to claim a foul at any cost. Sharkey traded on that, and deliberately hit low again. I will pull off the championship yet.)
