If the year, stats etc.. are correct and that Life Buoy Soap billboard is from the 1919 season & there was only one Billboard change over (to WaJo estate photo)...then it might be from July 1st 1920.



Also, I would try zooming in on the scoreboard as well from the Wajo estate photo.
This is great! I actually did find a 1919 photo with the Life Buoy soap add that I'll attach. The Type 1 photo scoreboard is very out of focus when zooming in but I appreciate that advise!
