For the second time this season the
opening ball of the Tennessee club has
been indefinitely postponed. The date

ball could be given. The ban against
large gatherings still prevails. however
and the club members have abandoned
the idea of having the ball on the date
set, and have announced that 1t will
not take place.
Another date will be set just as soon
as the situation improves and if posi-
