The National clay courts tournament opened with three society queens at a flag raising but top stars were absent. Only Billy Talbert of Cincinnati, No 19, remains among notable players as Frankie Parker and others serve in the military or turned pro. Organizers hope the event will still yield fine tennis with fresh faces.
