Corey was born in Westerly 63 ago and spent much of his time here, but had lived In the city of rovidence for the past nine months. arly in the 70's, when baseball was in ts first years of activity, and Corey was very mauch in the game. In 1876 he became & member of the Rhode Isl- ands, one of the fastest semi-profes- Fro hall slonal teams of the time, and wns used | 1877 he shared pitching honors with | as utflity men, mostly as_pitcher. One-Armed Daley, one pitching an the other playing right field. In 1878, when Providence was given a Nf".ilonal league team, Corey and Charley Swazy were the only two men of the o0ld Rhode Island team who were given places on the league nine. A ‘When the National league opened in Providence, May 1, 1878, Corey pitched for Providence against Boston and Tommy Bond. Boston won by a score of 1 to 0, after a spectacular contest, fin which Corey held the visitors to six hits. He was one of the first pitchers to use a curve ball successfully. Corey was signed by the Philadel- phia Athletics in 1880 and for several vears center fleld was his usual posi- tion. Late in the 80's, while out gun- ning near Stonington, he was acci- dentally shot and lost the sight of one eye, which resulted in his retirement from basebell He subsequently be- came a lather and worked at that business since. Of late Corey has been in poor health and did but little work at his trede. He spent many hours in his room reading and was in the habit of lying in bed and perusing a book before go- ing ta sleep. It is believed he did this and fell asleep with the gas burning and that a draught extinguished the light and finally caused Corey’s death by asphyxiation.
