Concertos & Jive. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra is small (82 players), local (half of the musicians come from east Texas), young (average age: 30) and very enthusiastic over its new conductor. Though there is an impressive "Founded in 1901" at the top of its programs, the present orchestra is really only five years old: in 1945, after a wartime hiatus, Hungarian-born Antal Dorati (now conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony) reorganized it and made it for the first time a competent, nationally respected organization.

...three days there were offers and counteroffers. Then the haggling came to an end and the Giants proudly announced that they had taken on Boston's talented young (26) Shortstop Alvin Dark and his garrulous sidekick, aging (32) Second Baseman Ed Stanky. Leo Durocher seemed principally pleased to get Stanky, who had played for him in Brooklyn. Said the Lip: "Stanky'll drive the pitcher daffy. He'll drop his bat on the catcher's corns.

Wall Street's young bull market kept right on growing. On three successive days last week, trading topped 2,000,000 shares, making it the most active week since the big rise of May 1948. The Dow-Jones industrial average rose 3.37 points to 198.05, the highest since August 1946. Most spectacular rise: Superior Oil Co.

If the bull gets over that...
