Americas S No. dance team, Veloz
and Yolanda, started packing their
trunks today to go back to work for
the first time in year. Yolanda
has been busy having another baby.
Husband Frank Veloz has been
busy in his works hop, inventing q
device to record telephone CONVEX
sations.
1T was a nice vacation but its
time we got back tC work and earn
ed some money" Veloz said. We've
worked only 80 weeks in the last
three years
Having those two children-Tony
is now 4 months old, Nicky is 4
years cost Veloz and Yolanda a
million dollars in contracts. But
we got the best of the bargain,
they agree.
They'll make up for lost time
now, though, with a $50 city tour
of the United States hiehlighted
by two performances at the Holly
wood Bowl.
How Velcz and Yolanda became
the dance rage of the nation was
almost accidental and is one OF
the best stories in show business.
They we're just another dance team
until they started out-ritZing their
audiences.
when we were booked into the
St. Regis hotel in New York in our
first bigtime engagement Frank
said, we found the audiences were
high-hatting us. Yolanda took it
good-naturedly, but I resented it.
They took US for granted, like part
Of the furnishings. You could
barely hear the arplau.e.'
COLD SHOULDER RETURNED
So they decided to out-rltZ the
customers. They became just az
alocf as they were. They danced
with Unconditional faces and walked
off the floor without a smile or a
backward glance. No amount OF
applause could get them back on
the floor for an encore.
The people loved it, Frank said.
1T was during the depression, when
most people were having pretty
tough time, and we really put on
the dog. We developed an appe itc
for pink champagne and caviar
Then after work we went to our
favcrite hamburger joint for real
meal.
I'VE bought slightly used $4,000
limousine dirt cheap. And dld we
impress em when we rolled up TO
the hotel in that! Yolanda haG a
wrap made entirely of ermine tails.
1t would have cost around 5000
in normal times, but we got 1t 1or
less than a thousand"
Well, word got around ana So

and Yolanda were a sens alton.
I'VE were getting $40O a week.
Frank said, but after that we got
invitations to dance at practically
every big private party IN New
York. They always gave me blank
check. We charged 'em $3.50 for a

the Atlantic coast, including Phil
adelphia, New York, Baltimore, and
Washington. Various leagues and
units in Elmira. Syracuse, Water
bury, Trenton, Camden. Richmond,
Greenville and Anderson, South
Carolina and La Grange, Georgia,
are being considered for franchise.
The operation plan is simple.
Leagues and associations in each
locality are urged to combine and
adopt uniform set Of eligibility
rules and conduct a tournament of
winners so that a city championship
can be determined.
Early Tourney
A national tournament is planned
for the first of September in either
Washington. Baltimore, or Phila-
delphia with the championship
teams of each member association
competing for the Clark G. Grifnith
trophy.
Wilford L. Carter, president,
Maryland State Amateur associa-
ton, has been elected president of
the All-American with Glenn L.
Martin as chairman of the board.
Frank Clark of the department Of
recreation of Baltimore, was named
secretary.
One of the key notes of the ALL
American Is the fact that all subter-
fuge or cover" has been removed
from amateur baseball. Men and
boys who played professional base
ball in l943 in Glass A, B, c or D
league and who have not signed a
contract in 1914, are automatically
declared to be amateurs. Men who
played Double A on major league
baseball in 1913 are not eligible to
complete for two years. This para
graph was inserted in the constitu-
ton and tournament rules In order
to assure all clubs of having an
equal chance and to prohibit some
teams from loading up" for the
tournament.
The local associations govern their
own affairs. No effort Is made by
the All-American headquarters to
control in any way the local unit
other than to insist in the national
tournament, all teams comply with
the same set Of eligibiliay rules. The
organizers of the All-American con-
template broadening out so that all
amateur baseball players, from the
tiniest up, will eventually be in one
big unit, playing under the same
eligibility rules and having their
own national tournaments each
year.
Junior Play
Efforts are also being made to ar
range a junior series between the
champions of Maryland and the
champions of Philadelphia. If
other midget and Junior teams de-
sire to compete in such a tourna-
ment, there Is no reason why this
could not be arranged.
G. w. Swan of the Glenn L. Mar
tin Co., Middle River, Maryland, is
the chairman Of the Franchise COM
mittee, and will be very glad to hear
from any association or league de-
string information concerning the
AIl-American Amateur Baseball as.

GIANT MANAGER

New York, April Is - (UP) -
player-Inanager Mel Otis accept
ance for general military duty isn't
going to affect his plans fol keep
ing the New York Giants in the
National League race - for a while
at least.
He Joined the team for the two
game series which opens at Phila-
delphia and said he would remain
with the club until called, which
will not be until After May Is and
possibly not until the end Of the
baseball season.
The 35-year-old outfielder, who
has spent more than half of his
lifetime-19 years to be exact-with
the Giants was accepted for general
army duty at Camden. N. j., yester-
day but his age and the fact that
he Is a pre-Pearl Harbor father
with two children would put him
down on the draft list behind
younger men unless recently modi-
fed selective service regulations are
changed again.
OFT said he had no further plans
beyond an attempt to keep the
team in the winning mood that
brought it through the first week
of the baseball season with five
straight victories in an amazing
reversal Of form from 1913.
OFT as yet doesn't envision a
pennant for the Giants and admit
ted that their performance even
had surprised him a little.
Particularly pleasing has been
the showing of Young Bill Voiselle,
who has turned in two one-run VIC
tories in as many starts, while Ace
Adams convinced OFT that he was q
starting pitcher by beating the
Dodgers.
Sick Man
The New York Yankees had a
managerial problem Of another kind
on their hands. Joe Mccarthy, be-
set with worries over the loss of
most Of the stars from his 1913
world championship squad, still was
belfast at his farm home near
buffalo N. Y, with little chance
that he will be able to rejoin the
team for 10 days or two weeks.
Mccarthy, who had a gall bladder
attack shortly before the season
opened. developed influenza which
later was complicated by an attack
Of neuritis. His worries were in
creased yesterday when Spurgeon
(Spu6 Chandler, leading major
league pitching star of 1913, left for
Moultdie, Ga. to report for military
service. Chambers case is similar
to that of Pitcher Enie Bonham,
who expects to be called soon. Both
had been accepted for service but
joined the team when the order
modifying draft of fathers over 26
was handed down. However, Chand-
ler's draft board accepted him be-
cause he had been examined before
the rule went into effect and the
same Interpretation may apply to
