M101-6 was issued beginning in 1917. It is believed to have been issued into 1920, although it is unclear how many and what cards were added over the years (except of course the Ruth Yankees card almost certainly did not issue until 1920). FWIW, Hornsby is shown in his (probably) 1917 uniform.
P.S. It should be noted that the original ad in 1917 offered "100 Stars" and the entire set of m101-6 is less than 125 subjects including team changes, so it is likely only a few updates followed over the subsequent years. Given that Hornsby had become fully established after the 1916 season, it seems very probable he was part of the 1917 production.
