Pirt Aug. 13, 1970 tog flngtlfg Cfat'rt YANKS7 ANDY CAREY SHUNS BASEBALL Yankees signed in He joined the Yankees in 1952 and played with the Mickey Mantle-Yogi Berra teams which dominated the American League. During the 1960 season he was traded to Kansas City, then to Chicago. He ended his career in 1962' with the Dodgers, retiring at 31. M0.W ALL A beast he shot two years ago in Wyoming.

He's proud of that trophy. His wife, Lucy, also recalls the 750-pound elk. "Elk tastes much better than beef," she volunteered. "We ate elk meat for a year, and that included 75 dinners we served at one Christmas party." Conservative Man The Andy Carey of today is a Joe DiMaggio-type Yankee successful, conservative in dress, hairstyle and manner. He is quite articulate and it sounds as if he went to college longer than just the year and a half he spent at St.

Andy Carey, third baseman with a lifetime batting average of .260, was the predecessor of Andy Carey, stockbroker for Mitchum-Jones and Tem-pleton of Los Angeles. I don't dwell in the past," Carey said in the living room of his Newport Beach home as his daughter Jennifer splashed in the swimming pool with five friends celebrating her 11th birthday.

I'm not practicing at all. But I stay in good shape. I work out at the Los Angeles Athletic Club three days a week. I jog, lift weights and play squash. I also do a lot of trap shooting' at Coto de Caza." Hunting, fishing, family and the tough work in today's soft stock market punctuate the lifestyle of the contemporary Andy Carey.

Baseball is so far behind him, he. sees only one or two games a year. Partly because he rises at 5 a.m. and is at his desk at 6:30 a.m. and partly because "I'm a participator, not a spectator.

I loved baseball when I played it Now I hunt and fish." Lone Mementos Indeed, his only baseball mementos are six World Series souvenir bats black and covered with Yankee signatures in gold an old pair of spikes and one mitt. The bats had been out of sight in the garage and untouched for so long, he had to clean them off before posing for a picture. But dominating the living room is a giant set of elk horns from a stately i' 'i? i' i i v. Some people believe such games shouldn't be played. They believe fans should remember the greats of yesterday as they were, in their prime.

They believe these players hpuld not be brought back to perform as shadows of themselves, sharp eyes grown too weak to put the bat on the, ball, too short of wind to run after a fly, too rotund to bend over for a grounder. "They have a point," said Carey, still trim and at his playing weight, 6-1, 202 "But I don't agree. "I think the Old-Timers games are great for baseball. I don't think the fans expect much from us. They aren't going to boo us if we strikeout.

I'm sure they don't expect Joe DiMaggio to be the Joe DiMaggio of the lJMOs. Heck, there's plenty of people today who never saw Joe DiMaggio play. "The old-timers are part of the legends and lore of baseball. I think the fans like to see them again or for the first time." What Approach? How is Carey approaching the game? Is he practicing hitting and fielding with his 13-year-old son, Jimmy? Is he out to prove he can still do it? He hit .302 in 1954, tied with Mickey Mantle for the most triples (11) in the American League in 1955 tied a major league record for most double plays in a DON'T BUY ANY NEW OR USED CAR UNTIL YOU CHECK THIS SENSATIONAL OFFER would you like to Buy Any Brand Mew 'Any Used Ccr in 1970 Chevrolet Vd Have Our Inrgs Stock at ot Factory "Left Side" Kelley Book? my inc. it woa a oyung- board to my business career of today.

He'll play third base for the American League in the Old-Timers Came at Anaheim Stadium. His former manager, Casey Stengel, will again be his boss. The 1 p.m. game precedes the Angels-Detroit game scheduled for 2:05.

"I'm looking forward to the game. Not because it's announcer in Los Angeles. He was my old second baseman, but I've seen him only twice in six months. I talk to Casey Stengel occasionally on the phone. Johnny Sain pitched for us, but Sunday I'll bat against him," Carey said.

It will be the first Old-Timers game for Carey, just 38 and only eight years retired. He obviously relished the idea of such a game. a return to yesterday, but because I'll get to see guys I played with and against, guys I haven't seen for years," Oakland-born Carey said. "Gene Woodling will be in the game. I roomed with him on a couple of road trips.

I've seen Joe DiMaggio only twice in 10 years. I played in Don Lar-sen's World Series no-hitter. I can't remember when I saw him last.
