Could very well be a cable.

I don't know if the Hornsby picture was taken at Wrigley, as it seems to have a very different background from the picture of Hack Wilson at Wrigley (I think) below, but thought I'd share the pic anyway. Note that I do think that the Cubs had an alternate home jersey with pin stripes added in 1930, so the Hornsby pic might possibly be at Wrigley.

The other picture of Hornsby is completely unrelated, but still has a cable in the upper right.
