Bowls career

At the 1930 British Empire Games he won the bronze medal in the rinks event with David Fraser, John Orr and William Campbell.
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.
