Numbers cannot be put in the first place

The title of what?

The Hundred and One Dalmatians, or the Great Dog Robbery is a 1956 children's novel by Dodie Smith.

One Hundred and One Dalmatians is a 1961 animated feature film.

101 Dalmatians is a 1996 live-action film.

I note that "and" starts with a small 'a'...

I went trolling through the web and found that both usages are apparently acceptable. I think our original poster should be able to use whatever he is most comfortable with without the grammar police gunning him down in the street.

Both usages are perfectly acceptable; with this proviso: omitting the "and" is an overwhelmingly US English convention; including it is a British English one. This is not a trivial matter. ESOL and EFL learners are often interested to know that such-and-such a usage or spelling is more acceptable in British English and less so in American English (or vice versa). This has nothing whatsoever to do with "grammar police"*, and I wonder what relevance** such a concept has in a thread where a person is enquiring about acceptable usage.

* a phrase often whined by those caught out in errors or whose confusion is exposed.

** NONE whatsoever.
