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