Meanwhile, in other pro basketball news Monday, the Milwaukee NBA club announced it has signed its first-round college draft choice, 6 feet 9 inch Charlie Paulk of Northeastern Oklahoma.

Details of the contract were not announced, although Milwaukee general manager John Erickson said it was for longer than one That left only three NBA first-round draft choices unsigned Iowa's Don Smith (by Cincinnati), Ohio State's Bill Hosket (by New York) and Tennessee's Tom Boer-winkle (by Chicago). Both Hosket and Boerwinkle are on the U. S. Olympic basketball team. The American Basketball Association which opened its annual meeting in Minneapolis Sunday, met behind closed doors to thrash out a series of problems, primarily an internal fight between commissioner George Mikan and New Jersey owner Arthur Brown.

Brown demanded Mikan's resignation after the commissioner ordered a playoff game forfeited when New Jersey couldn't provide a suitable playing arena. The forfeit put Kentucky into the playoffs. From Enquirer Wires The new Milwaukee team in the National Basketball Association will have a definite Cincinnati flavor. All three Cincinnati players selected in Monday's veteran draft to help stock both the new Milwaukee and Phoenix teams went to Milwaukee. They were forward Bob Love, veteran Guy Rodgers and guard Gary Gray.

Among former Cincinnati players taken by Milwaukee were Wayne Embry and Tom Thacker of the Celtics; Bud Olsen of the Seattle Supersonics, Jon McGlocklin and Dave Gambee of the San Diego Rockets and Len Chappell of the Detroit Pistons. The Phoenix team took one former Royal, George Wilson, and also selected Roland West from the Baltimore roster. Both are former University of Cincinnati players. Cincinnati's losses in the pro draft were about as expectedi There were some surprises, though, off the other rosters. The New York Knicks lost a valued forward when Dick Van Arsdale was taken by Phoenix.

Gail Goodrich, a long-time Laker stalwart, also went to Phoenix, as did promising Dick Snyder of the St. Louis Hawks. Milwaukee picked up a fine forward-center in Fred Hetzel of the San Francisco Warriors. Milwaukee's selections from each roster: Cincinnati Bob Love, Guy Rodgers, Gary Gray. Boston Wayne Embry, Tom Thacker, John Jones.

The Phillies, led by manager Mauch argued heatedly, but the ruling stood as a double, scoring Perez. Bench, batting hero of the Reds' two extra-inning wins over the Giants and Dodgers in the last four days, banged his second homer of the season into the leftfield screen. Playing no favorites, the Reds hiked the advantage to 6-1, with a run off Wagner in the fifth.

Bench laced a two-out single to center for his third straight hit, moments later speeding home on Helms' double off the scoreboard. Although in trouble in every inning, Culver managed to keep the light-hitting Phillies from scoring again, stranding 10 runners from the fourth through the seventh innings. The Reds made a real slaughter out of the onesided slugfest with their seventh run off young Colton who, incidentally, is Hedy Lamarr's son-in-law, in the seventh inning and three more off Boozer, the fourth Phillie hurler, in the eight. Helms, who boosted his season's batting, mark to .297 with three hits, drove in two of the four runs, singling home the run in the seventh and knocking in two more with a bases-loaded single up the middle in the eighth. Remaining i tent right down to the enjoyable ending, Culver stranded the 15th enemy base runner in the ninth inning in hurling his first complete game as a major leaguer.

in 93 official trips to the plate. The Phillies scored first, clipping Culver for a run in the second. White and Ryan singled, the former scoring when Cardenas threw Wine's playground hopper high to the plate. The Reds quickly made it 1-1 in their half. Bench opened with a line drive to center, Johnny Briggs fell down, the ball sailing over his head for a double.

A wild pitch followed and, after Bench bounced out, Cardenas singled Bench home. Incidentally, it was only little Leo's third hit in 23 trips to the plate and his second RBI of the season. Rojas and a 1 1 i opened the third with singles and Allen sacrificed; Culver fanned Briggs and, after doling out an intentional pass to the dangerous White, retired Ryan on a grounder to Helms. The Reds, currently the hottest club in the National League, broke the game wide open, exploding for four quick runs in their half of the third, featured by an argument over fair-or-foul ball. Johnson singled, running his consecutive game hitting streak to six.

Pinson took a third strike, Perez singled to left. Allen failed to charge the ball and Johnson dashed to third and ran home when Allen threw wild past third. May slapped a line drive that White reached for and it landed foul. First base umpire Ken rk a iidn't see the play and asked plate umpire Frank Secory to rule. Secory called it foul; when the Reds protested, Ex-Royals Take Move In Stride BY LOU SMITH Enquirer Sports Editor The rampaging Reds continued on their merry way at a homecoming party Monday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.

George Culver, who has been traveling in hard luck, finally picked up his first National League victory and, in support, had such items as 15 hits, including six doubles, homers by Johnny Bench and Pete Rose and four RBIs by Tommy Helms. With what practically was a base-hit shower in his behalf, the former Cleveland Indian righthander, even though tapped for 10 safeties, engineered a 10-1 victory in the series opener before a chilled Crosley Field crowd of 3991. The hard throwing Culver, in struggling over the full route for the first time as a major leaguer, started out as if he might be in need of more run production than the Reds normally provide. But his pals fixed him up right well with four quick runs in the third in sending lefty Woody Fryman to the showers with his third defeat in six decisions. After this padding, Culver, who stranded 15 runners along the way, struggled gamely to the finish line, although he made some 140 pitches.

Rose, whose sixth inning double lengthened his consecutive game hitting streak to 21, also slammed his third homer of the season over the centerfield fence in the three-run eight inning off Johnny Boozer.

"Probably the only place I wouldn't have been playing was here in Cincinnati," said Guy. For Love, Monday's expansion draft didn't come as a surprise. For weeks he has been asking the Royals to help him find an off season job. "Each time I went down there, they would have a different excuse, so I figured I was going in the draft," said Bob. "I was very happy that I was picked, though," he continued.

"I don't have any gripes." Love said he now has a chance to make good on a bet he made with roommate Oscar Robertson during the past season.

They do get two picks in the third round, the 13th and 14tr. picks of the day. BY BARRY McDERMOTT Of The Enquirer Staff Bob Love and Guy Rodgers say it has been nice but it is time to go. Love and Rodgers, who, with Gary Gray, were selected from the Cincinnati Royals roster in the Na- tional Basketball Association's expansion draft Monday, both are looking forward to playing for their new team, Milwaukee, next season. The Milwaukee roster includes nine former Royals.

"As far as sour frrapes, there are none," said Guy Rodgers, the former All-Star who came to the Royals early last season and passed most of the year watching from the sidelines. "I can truthfully say there are no hard feelings. "Any feelmgs I have will be expressed on the basketball court. That's what I get paid to do; play. That's what I didn't do here in Cincinnati.
