Willie Connor - Mascot of the Miracle Braves

I'm guessing mascot autographs are extremely rare, and probably not widely collected outside of Eddie Gaedel. (Does a Victory Faust auto even exist?). I've got one of Willie Connor who was known as "Johnny Boston Beans" of the 1914 Braves and am wondering if anyone knows of another. Also wondering if anyone knows what became of him? He apparently was there for the 14 season and is written about in newspaper articles quite a bit, but did not show up for the 1915 season.
