George Currys Build Beautiful New Home
At 1923 Sunrise Drive Off Flagler Avenue
ENTIRE HOUSE
PLANNED TO
CATCH PREVAILING
BREEZES

Bringing the outside in is the
theory Of Rufus Minis. architect,
which can be seen in the beautiful
new home Of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Curry at 362S Sunrise Drive.
The Curry house with its water
front location, jalousies and screen
ed patio. as well as plate glass
panels is one OF the most practical
new houses built in Key West.
One important aspect is that the
sun is kept out on the West by the
simple lack Of windows In that dir
ection. The entire house was plan
ned to catch Key Vests prevailing
southeast breeze. The patio with
screened ceiling, though it gets en-
ough sunshine in the morning to
nourish the boxed plants and
shrubs, becomes a shaded, breezy
spot after in the afternoon.
George Curry acted as his own
general contractor, sub-coniracting
only for electrical and plumbing
work. The popular Bamboo room
eo-proprietor shows the same good
taste in his house building. Dolce
Curry, his wife. is doing the dec
Grating Of the modern home now.
She is filling the living room and
two bedrooms and patio with mod
ern furniture on order now. Each
bedroom has its own bath.
On q lot 100 By 100 the Curry
home has \ 100 foot seawall from

WT.lTER DOUBTS JOE WALCOTTs
WILL DEFEND TITLE THIS YEAR
By FRANK Eek

q j.
(R) NewsfeatnYss Sports Editor
NEW YORK.-Jersey Joe Wal
colt and his manager. Felix Boo
chicchio, say the winner Of the
Rocky Marciano- Harry Matthews
fight will get q crack at the
heavyweight championship this
September.
Since it took Walcott almost a
year before he put his title on
the line against Ezzard Charles,
the writer doubts that Jersey
Joe viii be willing to make an
other defense o fhis crown this
year. You can draw your own
conclusions as to the reasons.
Walcott is old as heavyweight
champions 60. In fact he's the
oldest we've ever had. Another
title fight for Walcott would
bring him very little in money
since the tax bite would be al
most prohibitive.
In other wo. IL W-'cott de-
Tended twice during the same
year he might be lucky-winning
or losing-if his take home pay
from the second bout reached
$4,000. And Jersey Joe is smart
enough to wait for. more than
that the next tim, he risks his
crown.
Marciano, the Brockton, Mass.
blockbuster who ended Joe Louis
comeback hopes with knock
out in Madison Square Garden
last Oct 26, goes into the Mat
theWs fight with an unbeaten
string of Al victories, SO of which
were knockouts.
His fight with Matthews over
the ten-round distance in Yankee
/. Stadium on Monday, July Is,
will see him the favorite. Mat
thews is the lad who stopped the
rise of Irish Bob Murphy. He has
not been seen in these parts since,
mainly because his manager,
shrewd Jack Hurley. couldn't get
the right fight or the right purse.
Marciano figures to take care
of Matthews. They say Rocky
hits as hard as Jack Dempsey
and takes more punishment.
Matthews will have an adj
vantage of 71s inches in reach
| over Marciano but Rocky is the
type who walks through a brick
wall to get in punch.
