some corrections

first, the section on "Origins" currently says, ``The Powderhall Stadium had hosted the Powderhall Sprint uninterrupted, including through two world wars, since 1870," and that I'm afraid is not correct. in 1882 the Powderhall Sprint was held at the Royal Patent Gymnasium Grounds in King George V Park. and the section on "Famous Competitors" includes the name of Willie Applegarth, who never ran at Powderhall. his name was included in heat 9 in 1920 but he never ran and it was a walkover for Dan Wight of Jedburgh off 30 yards. that is, incidentally, the same Dan Wight who won the Powderhall Sprint in 1870.
