My guess is his rally antics during the miracle season received more press. After the World Series championship he was still a bat boy/mascot up until at least 1917.

That does look like him. The Red Sox may have appropriated him from the Braves, or perhaps more likely he just lived closer to Fenway and stuck around there when the Braves moved into their new park in late 1915.
