It obviously was taken about the time of his bout with Gibbons in Shelby:

obviously correct about the model, not so sure about the Shelby bout.
Both times wearing white shorts but thats about all.
Nice photos though.

I'm not saying the last one is the Shelby fight, but taken around the same time. The caption says it was taken in Seattle in 1923.
