As the publisher of The (New York) Bowlers Journal, Schutte played a strong role in the sport in the late 1800s covering all aspects of the sport. Through editorials he continuously urged the formation of a national membership and rules making organization. This helped prompt ABC's founding, and Schutte continued his support of the organization, offsetting opposition from other sources.
