It looks like Dallas ran to the rumble. The Greasers handily beat the SOCS. Johnny tells Pony to "stay gold" which is a reference to the Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay".
Johnny doesn't want Ponyboy to lose his innocence through senseless fighting; he wants Pony to do something with his life.
