Hi all
I'm not too good at cryptics, any help with the following would be much appreciated

26A - Sparks will fly if it's short - ?i?c?i?
40A - Contest in which each conestant has one leg - ??l?? ?a?e
41A - Devoid of empathy when first action hero is eliminated - e????
44A - Fruit sour but can be made into a great dessert - ????? ?a?t
47A - Sound made when Batman punches captured soldier - ???
74A - Baseline errors that a podiatrist may be able to sort out - ?o?t???l?s
1D - What a doctor sets up with a view to becoming perfect - p?a?????
29D - Unable to be sacked or burned - ?i???????
36D - Quality seen in those who are retiring - s?????s
38D - Wood nymph appearing in uninteresting commercial - ?????
45D - Peas and beans taken during ward rounds - ??l?e?
55D - One who can barely run - ?t???k?r
Some confirmation please
58D - Like a traitor? That's not true - I've got disloyal

40a RELAY RACE
44a LEMON(?) TART
47A POW (stands for prisoner of war)
74a FOOTFAULTS
1D PRACTICE
29D FIREPROOF
36D SHYNESS
38D DRYAD
45D PULSES
55D STREAKER
Your two seem ok to me
I am sure someone will fill in the missing ones (and correct any of mine that are wrong)
20A - First catch crow or chicken - craven
26A - Sparks will fly if it's short - ?i?c?i?
40A - Contest in which each conestant has one leg - relay race
41A - Devoid of empathy when first action hero is eliminated - e????
44A - Fruit sour but can be made into a great dessert - apple tart
47A - Sound made when Batman punches captured soldier - pow
74A - Baseline errors that a podiatrist may be able to sort out - footfaults
1D - What a doctor sets up with a view to becoming perfect - practice
29D - Unable to be sacked or burned - fireproof
36D - Quality seen in those who are retiring - shyness
38D - Wood nymph appearing in uninteresting commercial - dryad
45D - Peas and beans taken during ward rounds - pulses
55D - One who can barely run - streaker
Disloyal and type look good. Hope someone can come up with the remainder.
26a circuit
41a empty (take first letters from "action hero" ie a & h out of empathy)
Thank you very much Tufdevil and Lmur. Very much appreciated
