Charles Edward Pickrang, the dusky New Zealander who cut a brief figure in boxing circles in Sydney about 10 years ago is now a sergeant of artillery in the A.I.F. Pickrang, with the soft mellow voice of the Maori race, told a story of domestic infidelity in the Divorce Court last week when he secured a divorced from his wife, Marjory Evelyn (Edwards) on the ground of desertion. The parties were married at Brisbane on March 12, 1931. Pickrang said his wife walked out on him because he complained about her going to dances too frequently and did not give sufficient attention to her child. When he last heard of her she was employed at Brewarrina. Described as a 'professional athlete' on the marriage certificate he was 24 when he led Marjory to the Altar. She was just 18. Pickrang, weighing about 17 stone, tall and powerful, was an imposing figure in the witness box. He spoke with the characteristics exactitude and fluency of his people and observed the form of the court with the military precision of a court martial. It's good bye to boxing now.
