Per wiki, Lutheran confirmation is at 14 years of age which would be 1917 in Gehrig's case. Picture of Gehrig in 1917 taken from Jonathan Eig's bio Luckiest Man. Boy in the eBay photo looks a bit younger than fourteen but the two don't look much alike, particularly the hair. That right ear might be telling but I am thinking no.
