 l.. R. Weyrick, one of the eff ficient clerks in the First Nation al Bank of Nogales, who last Sunday dived into thirty five foot we'll while stopping a home-run ball on the local diamond, says he has enough of the great national game, for the present, at least. After mak- ing the most sensational play ever witnessed on an Arizona diamond, Weyrick, who was yanked from the well with a riata, went back into the game, notwithstanding the fact that his chin was badly cut and his body bruised. A gamer lad never lived. Today, however, he is mighty sore, and it will be some time before he pulls off another high-dive stunt on the local diamond Tie man who made the home-run got a dollar; Wey- rick should have a bravery medal.
