Chicago
On September 9, 1938, Chicago Manhattan Beer purchased Salcedo’s contract for $500. In Chicago, he joined Billy Gonsalves, a future Hall of Famer. In the 1938-1939 season, Manhattan Beer played in the St. Louis Soccer League which had invited several Chicago teams to join the league. Manhattan finished second in the league standings. The team also went to the National Challenge Cup final before falling to Brooklyn St. Mary's Celtic.
In September 1939, Salcedo signed with the Kearny Scots (ASL). He played one game, against Hispano. However, Hispano disputed Salcedo’s signing with the Scots, claiming they still owned his rights in the ASL. The US Football Association agreed with Hispano and nullified Salcedo’s contract with the Scots. Salcedo returned to Manhattan Beer for the start of the 1939-1940 St. Louis Soccer League season. However, he then jumped to the Danish-Americans of the National Soccer League of Chicago. He played only briefly with the Danish-Americans before moving back east to sign with Hispano.
