The clarity would be the same as a type one if printed off the original negative in 1915 or later. That's not the issue.
I've done a quick search of all Conlon photos that both RMY and Heritage have sold and I could not find an example of a Conlon stamped print that had borders that could also be attributed to pre-1915 based on a newspaper stamp or slug. I'm not saying that proves anything, but if Dennis is correct the photo should be a type two by PSA's (arbitrary) definition (type one needs to be printed within two years of the time photo was taken).

I did a quick check of some photos I have by George Grantham Bain, Paul Thompson and Edward Bushnell all from the same period. All the photos I have by them that I checked were track and field. I find that most of their early photos have no white margins. When they did a contact print from the glass plate negative they would occasionally keep a black margin (unexposed emulsion) which had the identity scratched into it. I did find two Paul Thompson photos, both 7x9, circa 1908-11, that had small white margins, but not very significant. Unfortunately with these full frame prints you do find a lot of small tears and bend on the corners. Fortunately, archival document repair tape which is essentially tissue paper, is great for fixing them.
No comment on the photo in question. Just an observation about other significant sports photographers of the period.

The borders observation is really helpful. I have a 1915 and 1916 with a border but none of the earlier have a white border. Good diagnostic for folks that have only limited experience with these prints.
