| - Floretta "Doty" McCutcheon (July 22, 1888 – February 2, 1967) was a professional bowler and activist. She is widely regarded for her professional achievements as well as work in popularizing bowling among women. In her early years, McCutcheon competed on the local women's volleyball team at her YWCA. McCutcheon originally started bowling because she was advised to be more physically active by her doctor. Eventually, she married bowling enthusiast Robert McCutcheon. It wasn’t until 1923 that she bowled her first game. In 1923, her husband formed a bowling league and added her to the roster without permission. Her technique was originally to throw the bowling ball as far as she possibly could. Eventually this changed in 1926 as she focused specifically on controlling her delivery. In 1927, she challenged world champion, Jimmy Smith to a three-game set and beat him 704 to 697. A year later she became employed by the Brunswick Corporation, as an instructor. (en)
