  For $ 0< \lambda < \frac{1}2$, let $ B_{\lambda }$ be the Bochner-Riesz
multiplier of index $ \lambda $ on the plane. Associated to this multiplier is
the critical index $1 < p_\lambda = \frac{4} {3+2 \lambda } < \frac{4}3$. We
prove a sparse bound for $ B_{\lambda }$ with indices $ (p_\lambda , q)$, where
$ p_\lambda ' < q < 4$. This is a further quantification of the endpoint weak
$L^{p_\lambda}$ boundedness of $ B_{\lambda }$, due to Seeger. Indeed, the
sparse bound immediately implies new endpoint weighted weak type estimates for
weights in $ A_1 \cap RH_{\rho }$, where $ \rho > \frac4 {4 - 3 p_{\lambda }}$.
