Lee Richmond, author of the very first Perfecto- he, I remember.
Seems like Ted Brittlestein (and I'm sure that's spelled incorrectly) had a big year way back...

Lee Richmond had one incredible season in 1880 but it's further down the list.
Your second guess is close enough that the judges will give to you:  Ted Breitenstein's 1893 season with the St. Louis Browns is #5 on the list. League-wide ERA was 4.66 that year but Breitenstein put a 3.18 over nearly 400 innings.
He didn't make it into the Mayo Cut Plug 1895 set and he was too late for the Old Judge set. I'm not even sure there are any cards of him - anybody seen one?
This leaves just one more name, who has #1 and #10 on the list...
