Thomas M Chambers was a Canadian international lawn bowls player who competed in the 1930 British Empire Games for Scotland.[1][2]

Bowls career

[edit | edit source]

At the 1930 British Empire Games he won the bronze medal in the rinks (fours) event with David Fraser, John Orr and William Campbell.[3][4][5]

Bizarrely, he won the medal for Scotland despite being Canadian because John Kennedy, a member of the Scottish rinks team, had died in the United States en route to Canada. The other teams agreed that Chambers could be a substitute even though he was not Scottish.[6]
