In the dog days of early August, 12 ROME (Special) Russia, its unofficial team lead threatened by a strong United States comeback, collected its 27th gold medal of the Olympic Games today when Sergey Filatov was declared winner of the Grand Prix of Dressage. one of the premier tests of horsemanship. The best U.S.

Filatov dethroned two-time Olympic champion Henri St. Cyr of Sweden in winning Russia's first gold medal ever in Olympic equestrian competition. Gustav Fischer of Switzerland was second, Josef Nackermann of Germany third, St.

Cyr fourth and another Russian, Ivan Kalita, fifth. With track and field moving into is last full dayonly the marathon on Saturday remains after today's events several of the so-called minor sports dominated the morning Olympic program. Following the dressage completion, the unofficial team point score of the leaders looked like this: Russia 515, United States 485, Germany 263, Italy 222. The United States had a touch of high life for a few hours in Olympics Wednesday. They seized the lead in the unofficial race for team honors after a spendid day in track and field, weightlifting and Up to midnight, the American Olympic squad 1 .14.

Et when the National League pennant season was something of a fight, slightly derogatory things were said about manager Danny Murtaugh and his Buccaneers. The Dodgers, for instance, hinted that Danny had a "good II-man team," insinuating that the Pirates would not stand the gaff. It also was said that the club would revert to old habits and start folding to blow the 111N1' pennant, ostensibly to the Dodgers, of course. Murtaugh Unfortunately, thing haven't worked out that way. For one thing, the Dodgers didn't have it this season.

For another, we all underestimated the Pirates' potential, judging that the club's long-term program would be a year or two in reaching its goal of a N.L. pennant. The feeling has been that ultimately the Pirate planning would bring a winner. It almost had to, predicated as it was on the long-term thinking of its instigator, Branch Rickey, who also built up baseball dynasties at St. Louis and Brooklyn before going to Pittsburgh, deserted later for the ill-fated Continental League.

A plan, it might be added, carried forward with wisdom and alertness by Pirate general manager Joe L. Brown, an astute young man who got his start in the Hollywood Stars organization and graduated into the Pittsburgh front office from the now defunct PCL club. The Pirates were picked in the Rickey tradition of speed and today's league leader is nothing if not fast, alert and balanced. 1 Murtaugh Bragg. the world champion.

A gold medal came also to the United States from Charles Vinci, of Cleveland. in the bantamweight weightlifting. his second straight Olympic triumph in the event.

In yachting, the gold went to George O'Day of Dover, in the 5.5 meter class.

Meanwhile the United States had a golden opportunity to pick up at least four more gold medals today. Javelin champion Al Cantello of Norristown, the Women's 400-meter relay team, the men's 400- meter relay team and the men's 1.1i00-meter relay team all are favored to win gold medals today. and the U.S. has a chance In both the shooting finals and wo weightlifting finals. Cantello holds the ac- tented world record of 282 feet, inches in the javelin and will be America's big hope to nail down a gold medal in that event.

Bill Alley of Short Hills, N.J., who has beaten Centeno's world record, failed in the trials yesterday. Alley's mark is pending recognition. The men's 400-meter relay race should prove to be the most exciting event on today's program. Running for the U.S. team are Frank Budd of Asbury Park, N.J., Ray Norton of Oakland, Stone Johnson of Dallas.

YOUTH MOVEMENT STARTS Chargers Ink Vet Kicker Rookies Join Dodgers Eleven Men Enough DEROGATORY references to the Bucs as an "'Irian team" now appear to come back to hit the critics in the teeth.

What was meant at the time was that for team balance, speed and all-around ability the Pirates were well off but lacking in depth. gathered at the time the "11-man team" was made up of the eight regulars and three in pitchingStarters Vernon Law and Bob Friend and reliefer ElRoy Face. In a way it was a flip way of referring to a contender which also has others of talent. Maybe, if the critics were laughing today, they would refer to the Bucs as a "10-man team," Groat being lost for the most crucial part of the season. If so, the laughing boys might remember that Bob Schofield, who quickly filled in for Groat Tuesday night, is a mighty fine fielder once given a bonus of $80,000 by the Cardinals.

Pat Hand No Good Tommy Davis homered in the ninth for the Dodger run that tied the game at 2-2, and Johnny Roseboro's single scored Gil Hodges for the go-ahead run, but Cincinnati tied it in the last of the ninth on Martin's single and Ed Kasko's double. Sandy Koufax (6-12) takes the mound for the Dodgers tonight and Jay Hook (10- 15) will pitch for the failed to score with thc bases loaded: (1) when Wal-; Moon made a great catch of Billy Martin's drive in the fourth, (2) when Me-Devitt fanned Vada Pinson' in the llth, and (3) when 'McDevitt threw out Martin.

Manager Alston says he'll start Willie in center field and moves regular rookie center fielder Tommy Davis to right. Smith, a hard hitting shortstop, will take over at third base. Willie was clouting at a .345 pace at Spokane, Smith at .320. The Dodgers can stand some extra batting punch.

They lost 4-3 to the Reds last night in the 15th inning. Frank Robinson's single drove in pitcher Marshall Bridges and saddled relief pitcher Danny McDevitt with his fourth defeat. Danny hasn't won a game this season. Cincinnati left 19 runners on the bases and three times 1 11)Itit OURMFT PEPARTME1 Veteran place kicker Beni Agajanian was added to the Los Angeles Chargers rosterl bringing him out of a two-year retirement tol re-enter professional foot-1 ball. At the same time, the! Chargers placed four men on waivers, including three I veterans of the National! Football League (NFL).

Placed on waivers were halfback Bill Reynolds, former Pittsburgh star; quarterback Bob Clatterbuck of Houston; defensive end Glen Holtzman, Nor th Texas State, and linebacker Riley Morris, Florida A. and M. Reynolds, Clatterbuck and Holtzman all had played for NFL teams. The trimming of the roster to 35 before Saturday's American Football League opener with Dallas offered Its biggest surprise In the dropping of Holtzman. Reynolds was edged by Paul Lowe and Ron Waller from a starting halfback! spot.

Rams End Del Shofner regained his No. I position among Los Angeles Ram receivers in last Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, it was revealed today. Shofner caught five passes for 119 yards Sunday forl total yardage of 216 and 14 receptions. Close behind was Clendon Thomas, who caught four Sunday for a total of 81 to advance his season figures to 10 receptions and 186 yards. Bill Wade passed Buddy Humphrey in passing percentage by completing 10 of 18 against Dallas for a total of 23 completions in AO attempts for a .575 percentage.

He still trails Humphrey in total yardage with 336 yards to Buddy's 375, but Humphrey has attempted 22 more passes than Wade. IT MAY BE judged that the Dodgers as last year's world champions miscalculated on how far you could go in a new race while standing pat in the face of increased strength among other contenders. Basically the Dodgers have the same high qualifications they had at the outset of the seasongreat pitching and a strong 'defense. Their lack, then as now, has been in long-ball hitting, a matter studiously avoided when names like Roy Sievers were bandied about as possible trade material. Too late the Dodgers discovered they could not win without the consistent long ball, not when there was a Jack of consistent hitting otherwise.

And certainly no over-supply of speed. Held Too Lightly IN COMMON with many others I must confess holding the Bucs too lightly in the pre-season cogitations which resulted in a brainstorm picking someone else to win the pennant. I came up with Milwaukee, putting the Pirates fourth, Los Angeles second and San Francisco third. It was a bum bit of guessing, perhaps rooted in the disappointment of the Pirates not "arriving" when I thought they would. Before this year had expected great things of them, only to have them blow the duke after sensational spurts to nowhere.

What's pleasing about it, if the Bucs win the pen-rent, is to have Joe L. Brown, son of the famous and wonderful Joe E. of movie fame, come up with a winner. Joe L. grew up to baseball, egged on by a father who is one of the greatest enthusiasts the national pastime ever has seen.

Joe L. never had any other ambition than baseball, which is good enough. But Can They Lose? THE PENNANT race is far from over but the odds are against any team beating out Murtaugh Co. Five hundred ball in playing out the string could do It for the Pirates and put them into the World Series where the loss of Groat will hurt. VALLEY Rosso at Van Nuys Panorama City.
