Both photos are from the lead up to his fight with Bob Satterfield. Curiously, while the first one has the two fighters holding a sign that says "Jan 1",and has a "Dec 31 1945" stamp on the reverse, the only fight between the two happened on 4/25/46. The second photo has date stamps consistent with that. While we could find no independent record confirming the fight was postponed, that certainly seems to be the case based on these photos.
