It's a memory Zucarelli holds on to, along with his memories of his month- ly visits with McCarthy right up to his death at age 90 last year. ''There was a lot of love in the man, and he took special interest in Kens ington Baseball,\ said Zucarelli, president of the league. IT IS APPROPRIATE that an eight foot statue of McCarthy, dressed in a Yankees uniform, carved out of Ver- mont granite, will be dedicated at 2 this afternoon at McCarthy Park, 300 E.

In 1972, the park was formally named after McCarthy, who attended the ceremoni¢s. McCarthy donated two trophies to the baseball league, trophies that are still presented annu- ally to the winners of the rfinor and major division races.

With the help of g long string of city councilmen, starting with Stanley Ma- kowski and Edward V. Regan, and continuing with- William A. Price and Eugene M. Fahey, the park has be- the limelight but never forgot his friends and fans. McCarthy died on Jan. 13, 1978, and his funeral a few days later was, in Zucarelli's words, a disgrace. There were flowers and telegrams, from all over the country but few major lea- guers were at the funeral.

A committee was formed, and money was found in a city fund set aside for art in public places. The McCarthy statue was commissioned with the approval of the Common _ Council and Mayor James Griffin. Former Yankees Pitcher Whitey Ford will represent the team at the dedication. ''The only thing that bothers me,\ Zucarelli said \is that I can see Marse sitting up there some place, looking down at me and saying 'Stupid, I nev- er wanted anything like that.'

Nevertheless, there is one major difference, -aside-from the- size-0f-the- ~bigger-box,- one which suits-itself-to -world. «- ---~-- screen, and it's this: The Muppet Show is placed in the Muppet world, with but one human guest per week, while \'The Muppet Movie\ is placed in the human world, with Muppets discovered here and there among the less likeable human folk. WHEN RAQUEL Welch appears on The Muppet Show, she is the only bu- man among a multitude of Muppets. But in \The Muppet Movie,\ Kermit the Frog can enter a bar and rub bending-elbows with a room full of - human patrons; Miss Piggy can win a beauty contest from a bevy of human beautles; and Dom DeLuise, when he encounters Kermit in the swanip, can be chased by a real alligator with real teeth (as opposed to a Muppet alliga- tor, with felt teeth). The difference in locale is crucial, because this is a good guys-bad guys movie. And if this movie was placed in the Muppet world of TV, there could be no bad guys -- because al- though each Muppet has his or her own flesh-and-blood type faults, there isn't a Muppet extant who could play 'the beavy tm a movie. THERE ARE no evil Muppets - even the monster Muppets, though grutf and growly sorts, are good guys. It is the nature of the beast. So the movie takes place in the hu- KERMIT . . .. good guy wood.
