8 MAIL TRIBUNE, MJM Or. Tuesday, Spt. 8, 19S9 Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press -International Forest Mills, N. Y.-(DPD- Down in Peru they refer to Alex Olmedo, their greatest tennis star, as ."El Mistiano." This is because, as a young ster, he came down from the . slopes of Misti mountain, which overlooks the tiny city where the houseware made of the white volcanic ash. ' Once upon a time Arequipa passed a law that all of the houses would have to be 1 painted white. Immediately the independent ' Peruvians began to paint their houses every ' color of the rainbow. The - law was rescinded. Im mediately everybody painted his house white. 'They say, in Peru, that when a fight breaks out, most people ask "Who's fighting? but in Arequipa they - rush outdoors and ask "Who am I fighting?" Wants to Win t Which, in a way, explains the inner workings of "El Misitano," the embattled son of the Incas who currently is bearing the scorn and censure of the tennis world for his "indifferent play." Alex Olmedo wants to win But it irritated him beyond words when they started tell ing him to paint his house white. And, like any native of Areqipa, he isn't going to sit still and ask "who's fight ing?", i , ' Of ', course, in this strange new world into which his ten nis racket became a passport, one doesn't go out and throw rocks. So "El Mistiano" sim ply adopts a go-to-blazes atti tude and lets the chips fall where they will. , A year ago he was the hero of U. S. tennisaf ter winning two singles and teaming in the victorious doubles from Australia," 3 to 2. This year, after winning at Wimbledon, he. was expected to duplicate his performance in the big silverware snatch. . He Jmt Shrugs But, on the heels of a "give away" defeat which brought , official wrath down on . his head for acting like an ama teur in the'U. S. clay court gles match and the doubles as Australia regained the Davis Cup. There was an evident feeling that he should be stood against a wall and shot. Alex shrugged and walked away this being far from Mis ti mountain-and Arequipa. What about his play in the clay courts? v ! "That he shouldn't have done," says Stanley Singer, on whose recommendation Ol medo .was brought to this country. Alex is unhappy over his showing in the Davis Cup. He looks blase as he shoots for the U. S, title this week. But this is the time, Singer contend-, when "El Mistiano" is trying his hardest. And, Sing er predicts, the mountain is about to erupt.
