[from an article by Jimmy Williams] Arthur Cummings and Bob Matthews had pitched a small lateral curve as early as 1868, but it was done by a regular pitch and not by a throw, as later. St. Louis Post-Dispatch January 2, 1884 [N.B. The article is a reasonably accurate history of the development of pitching.]
