Thanks, Stefan. There seem to be two legitimate versions of this. The
balance.el file says to use:

(autoload 'balance-mode "balance")
   (setq auto-mode-alist
       (append '(("\\.bal$" . balance-mode)) auto-mode-alist))

you and others have said to use:

   (autoload 'balance-mode "balance") ;; takes twice
    (setq auto-mode-alist
       (append '(("\\.bal\\'" . balance-mode)) auto-mode-alist))

both open the balance.el file, given that it requires two commands to do
it. That is, this is not my problem.
