1931 Nominee

100 Words
That Champ, he’s a big ol’ fighting machine! Just ask Dink, he’ll tell you all about it if he can get Champ out of the bar or away from the dice table. Dink thinks his new horse, Little Champ, is awful swell, but it’s too bad Champ loses him in a lousy bet. Dink bumps into his Mom at the track and Champ thinks letting Dink live with her might put the kid on track, but Dink’s rightful place in the world is at Champ’s side, letting all his nights out drinking slide to see if tomorrow anything finally changes.
