"Merritt, a microbrewery owner, entered into a contract with Ed, owner of a baseball park, whereby Ed rented to Merritt a large signboard on top of the center field wall. The contract provided that Ed should letter the sign as Merritt desired and would change the lettering from time to time within forty-eight hours after receipt of written request from Merritt. As directed by Merritt, the signboard originally stated in large letters that Merritt would pay $1,000 to any ballplayer hitting a home run over the sign."

"In the first game of the season, Hume, the best hitter in the league, hit one home run over the sign. Merritt immediately served written notice on Ed instructing Ed to replace the offer on the signboard with an offer to pay $500 to every pitcher who pitched a no-hit game in the park. Ed immediately hired Mark to change the wording on the sign and paid him $100.00 to do the job. A week after receipt of Merritt's letter, the wording on the sign had not been changed. On that day, Perry, a pitcher for a scheduled game, pitched a no-hit game while Hume, one of his teammates, hit another home run over Merritt's sign. Merritt refuses to pay any of

the players."
