Here's my favorite 19th Century No-Hitter pitcher......
Ted Breitenstein
Who pitched a No-Hitter on his 1st official start (Oct 4, 1891)
Then, Ted pitched a 2nd No-Hitter on April 22, 1898

Furthermore......
Ted Breitenstein pitched a No-Hitter and a "Perfect" game in his rookie Major League start for the St Louis Browns on Oct 4, 1891
vs. Louisville Colonels. Ted faced just 27 batters. He walked one batter, who was erased by a pick-off play (or a double-play).
His 2nd No-Hitter was with the Cincinnati Reds (vs. Pittsburg Pirates) on April 22, 1898.
During World War I, Breitenstein was the Director of an athletic camp especially organized for Army and Navy servicemen.
