Medal record

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