Arthur Chambers (September 18, 1903 - February 7, 1928), nicknamed "Rube", was an American Negro league pitcher in the 1920s.
A native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Chambers attended North Carolina A&T State University.[1]
While still in college, Chambers was to appear with the Lincoln Giants in 1924, but he failed to report to the team.[2] Instead, he made his Negro leagues debut in 1925 with the Wilmington Potomacs.[3]
When the Potomacs folded in mid-July, Chambers, shortstop Clarence Lindsay and outfielder Pete Washington joined the Lincoln Giants.[4] Chambers went on to play two more seasons with the Giants through 1927.[5] He was struck by a train and killed in West Palm Beach, Florida, on February 7, 1928, at age 24.[6]
